TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL CHANGE
New technologies have created new capabilities, including access, capture, speed, and permanence. Technology often has a more wide-ranging effect than the purpose for which it is chosen. As a result, advances in technology present both opportunities and threats to individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
