2Alfonso ReyesWhat sort of "desirable" values can we think of ICT's?
26David BestValues are rarely considered in implementations of ICTs The most that is currently taken account of is the financial or occasionally the regulatory value of an ICT implemntation Therofre there is a need to develop a language or notation of value that makes sense to spoinsors and users before this statement can be acted upon
52Clas-Otto WeneValues relevant to ICT emerge as we learn to use them through interactions between the learning loops in the society. We cannot clarify values ahead because the technology path will create its own values.
60Pete BarnsleyHow can an ICT have any values regardless of the learning etc without the context. Since this context is not controllable but part of the observer ICTs are but pawns. The vessel leaks and abuse is possible.
