Regrettably, managers sometimes belong to this category. Implementation of the ICT is followed by more structured ways of work. The regulations might be quite strict. People feel that they become merely controlled by machines and that the human factors of their work are disappearing. People feel that they loose their privacy , their habits, etc.
People also feel unsure about the privacy and security of data and information.
Both these reasons for the fear can retard progress at universities and the university managers have to seek for a specific medicine for each of them. While the first reason is rather selfish and it is desirable to get rid of it, the second reason expresses very deep human feelings and this problem should be treated with the greatest care and understanding. Their long tradition in operation of the ICT and also their contribution to a research in this branch approves a high self-confidence in their capabilities. But the question usually is not the capability but the efficiency of completing different tasks. The computer centers can hardly compete with specialized software houses, not speaking about hardware manufacturers.
