Description

Information ecologies are systems in which people, practices, technologies, and values come together in local environments. Bonnie Nardi and Vicki O'Day argue that responsible engagement with technology is essential, but often falls into two extremes: uncritical acceptance or blanket rejection.

The authors invite readers to consider the ways in which people and technology interact, drawing on their research in various settings such as offices, libraries, schools, and hospitals. By examining these relationships, individuals can engage their own values and commitments while using technology.
