Эта книга рассматривает информационные технологии в исторической перспективе, прослеживая их развитие с течением времени. В ней освещаются истоки ИТ в бизнесе, массовое расширение роли ИТ в конце 20 века, рост интернета и успехи и неудачи компаний, участвовавших в этом развитии. Несмотря на повсеместное присутствие ИТ в современном мире, автор подчеркивает, что эффективное использование ИТ бизнесом может быть достигнуто только при хорошем понимании их потенциала и подводных камней, отмечая, что осознанное применение ИТ на практике имеет ключевое значение для успеха компаний. В заключение поднимаются вопросы о будущем ИТ: кто будет пожинать плоды и почему? Будут ли ИТ и дальше предлагать решения и всегда ли оправдывать ожидания? Прекратится ли их развитие и, следовательно, изучение, или же они продолжат развиваться, открывая новые возможности и вызовы для пользователей?
