Time and Information Technology: Temporal Impacts on Individuals, Organizations, and Society

and society. In so doing, we draw on Bolter’s (1984) concept of “dee ning technology” and compare modern information technology with the mechanical clocks of the 17th and 18th centuries. Then, we present temporal impacts of information technology at three levels (individual, organizational,and social), as well as broader, theoretical issues. These four areas will be used as a framework onto which the e ve papers included in this special issue will be positioned. Finally we suggest areas for future research in the study of time and information technology.
