Abstract
The rapid development of ICT with all its diverse aspects is one of the most fascinating current topics in the world of work. No other recent societal, organizational, or technological change compares with the rapid and wide-reaching impact of these technologies. Any attempt to capture the complexity and wide-ranging aspect of these technologies is limited because it may result only in a selective and momentary picture. On the other hand, after about 30 years of extremely rapid development of ICT in the world of work, we have accumulated many experiences, and many scientific studies have been conducted. Thus, we may be able to capture at least some general trends in how these technologies are affecting the quality of our lives. We do think that the chapters and topics in this book provide an overview on such trends and developments from an international perspective.
