constant contact with consumers, and businesses and suppliers failing to embrace the new way of doing things would find themselves abandoned by more demanding and increasingly impatient customers. Obviously, those
futurists were correct in their predictions. In fact, they may have even under-estimated the impact of information technology in daily life. The computers and other information tools that
are currently being used evolved because of several major technological advances: using electricity to power the machine; integrated circuits; arrays of transistors combined with the magic of silicon chip
technologies (and, in the not-so-distant past, vacuum tubes) that are constantly improving the speed, power, and memory of computers; and, video and digital technologies that have computer monitors so much
more than the black-and-white television screens they once resembled. It is a useful analogy to consider the idea that just as modern computers rely on a complex series of interactions
and interdependencies to even exist, society itself depends on a multitude of complexities that woven together create the work, pleasure, and life-styles of the modern, "industrialized" world. But what
