Congratulations to active IFIP members Diane Whitehouse (Chair of TC9 – ICT and Society) and Norberto Patrignani (who heads up the Domain Committee on Cloud Computing) on the publication of their new short book, “Slow Tech and ICT”.
Currently downloadable online with a physical version available in the new year, the book has been motivated by Diane’s and Nortberto’s strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this little book places ICT in relationship with time, especially the long-term and the future. It provides a compass for multiple stakeholders – designers, producers, policy-makers and users – to consider the use of ICT over time.
The aim is to offer a companion piece for people aiming to build human-centred (good), sustainable (clean), and ethical (fair) ICT. Slow Tech and ICT will appeal to readers working in the educational sector, professional organisations, and business, whether their interests are in ICT and usability, the environment, work or democracy.
