First sentence: This paper argues that computerization is a socio-political process (Danziger et al. 1982; Iacono et al. 1996) where the success or failure of a new technology is in the hand of the actors (Latour 1986), and that it is important to understand the interests and values that construct a technology in order to assess its impacts (Thomas 1999).
