Reviews
"In this work the late Carl J. Couch surveys the history of human society in terms of information technologies. Good sociologist that he was, Couch views each technology as possessing the potential for both liberating and repressive consequences, what he refers to as a blessing and a burden. More important, he does not posit a theory of technological determinism, but rather argues that the impact of technology "has to a large extent been determined by how it has been meshed with social structures"... Information is so central to modern societies that the primary knowledge centers, i.e., universities, "complete with state and economic structures for hegemony in programming the future endeavors of humanity." Through his emphasis on the social context, Couch has brought an important balance to the study of information technologies. Undergraduates." --M. Oromaner, Choice
