The social impact of the digital computer has been recognized since the infancy of the industry. Early analyses were largely speculative and centered primarily on machine capabilities, potential benefits and potential harm, e.g., increased capacity for input, processing storage and output, efficiency, loss of privacy, dehumanization and creation or loss of jobs. With the tremendous growth of digital computers in the United States and the proliferation of applications, studies have become more specific and situational. Because most computer based systems are either employed or administered by organizations, the organizational setting has become the primary focus of interest (Kling 1980).
