Human Choice and Computers: Issues of Choice and Quality of Life in the Information SocietyKlaus Brunnstein, Jacques Berleur Springer, 2013 M04 18 - 336 páginas The developments of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are not always continuous but may be influenced and shaped by unforeseen events and are therefore difficult to predict and control.

The topics covered in this book include: -Quality of Life and Quality of Working Life; |
