Abstract

This chapter looks back in history as well as forward, in terms of where computing is heading. The chapter concentrates on the co-shaping of society and technology. To portray this co-shaping clearly, there is an exploration of the history of computing from its early days, throughout the Second World War, to three distinct periods: host computing, personal computing, and cloud computing. While a preoccupation with computer ethics emerged in the late 01950s, in 02017 the thrust is towards a more proactive form of computer ethics. Indeed, Slow Tech forms a part of this general trend. It also acts as a means to introduce a more holistic view of ICT systems and Complex Socio-Technical Systems. In its conclusion, this chapter explores a new direction in thinking, which facilitates a longer-term view of ICT: it is the concept of responsible research and innovation. The ideas are captured in a simple model. This chapter provides thoughtful insights into the contemporary development of Slow Tech.
