Introduction
Debates about information technology (IT) are riven with
conflict. IT’s potential to enable universal human
cooperation clashes with particular needs and demands.
The types of visionary audacity that fuelled the early
development of IT are constrained by market-led pragmatism,
and IT is often treated as a crutch for us to lean on,
rather than as a tool we can use to engage with problems.
Information Technology: Prospects and barriers
is a two-month programme of events seeking to identify
present-day obstacles to further progress in IT, and
debating how these obstacles might be overcome.
