The following topics are discussed: the new technological revolution and its effects on public institutions; the positive potential and negative aspects of new technology and necessary choices; defining technology (the significance of the labor process and technological determinism); social transformations of technology (the examples of telephone companies and IBM and exposing the myth that technology is always progressive); the systems life cycle (criticisms of the traditional design method and worker involvement in systems development); the social mediation of skills (stages in an administrative revolution and the progression from the mechanical office to the paperless office); and the cycle of labor transforming technology transforming labor. The first section contains seven references. The following papers constitute approximately 80% of the document: "Educational Implications of High Technology" (H. M. Levin, R. W. Rumberger); "Office Technology as Exile and Integration" (S. Zuboff); "Social Choice in Machine Design" (D. F. Noble); and "The Material of Male Power" (C. Cockburn).
