This book argues that everyone should be concerned with the commercial and social implications of decisions made in opaque specialist fields.
Klappentext zu „Digital Decision Making “
Since the general public began to use the Internet in the mid 1990s, there has been a vast amount of investment by governments and commerce in digital communications technologies. There has also been a fair degree of confusion and sometimes controversy about the purpose and effectiveness of such technologies, for example the proposed UK identity card system. The far-reaching implications for commerce and society of some of these decisions in invisible or opaque specialist fields, however, mean they should be matters of concern for every citizen. This book argues: Decisions should be based on an understanding of the systems, technology and environment within which they operate. Experts and ordinary people should work together. Technology and law are evolving in restrictive rather than enabling ways.
It aims, to stimulate an awareness of the issues and be a readable, challenging and informative introduction, both for university students and the general reader, to processes surrounding developments in technology and law.

Pressezitat
From the reviews: "The objective of the book is to induce a consciousness of these issues by adopting a mildly narrative approach. It is intended for university students, as well as for the lay public. ... Corrigan provides notes for every chapter, a list of current references, and a handy index. ... I recommend this book to students of information and communication technologies, technologists, administrators, and the general public; they will gain useful insight from it." (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)
