Abstract

In this paper we study the reciprocal interaction between a specific technological construct of contemporary times, namely Information Systems (IS) for e-Government and the way human agents conceive of this construct and employ it in their daily conduct. We build our analysis around case studies concerning two European e-Government research and development projects and try to unravel the subtle threads that form this interaction. It is our position that technology affects our every-day experiences not more than it is shaped by them through recurrent processes of structuring. Finally, we draw on concepts and ideas from past attempts to conceptualize technological artifacts, from our personal experiences and from Structuration Theory to define the concept of "technological integration".
