Information technologies for the 1990s: an organizational impact perspective

ABSTRACT

When a thing is new, people say: "It is not true." Later, when its truth becomes obvious, they say: "It is not important." Finally, when its importance cannot be denied, they say: "Anyway, it is not new." Adapted from William James
