Technen: Elements of Recent History of Information Technologies with Epistemological Conclusions
The book expresses the conviction that the art of creating tools – Greek techne – changes its character together with the change of civilization epochs and co-determines such changes. This does not mean that tools typical for a civilization epoch determine it completely, but they change our way of perceiving and interpreting the world. There might have been many such epochs in the history of human civilization (much more than the three waves of agricultural, industrial and information civilization). This is expressed by the title Technen of the book, where n denotes a subsequent civilization epoch. During last fifty years we observed a decomposition of the old episteme (understood as a w...
Emerging Technologies in Business. Thin Client Technology
Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: Tradeoffs are inevitably entailed when effectively managing information technology within an enterprise. Over many years, thick client PC’s were the first choice in order to deploy a wide range of services and applications. So-called thick client (also known as “fat” client) devices are computationally capable and flexible. However, those thick clients became a target point of innumerable worms, viruses, and other malware attacks which results in information leaks and organizational discipline as well as considerable effort to maintain and centrally control. Therefore, many companies take the advantages of the thin client technology into consideration in order to address the challenges organizations face with thick clients.

The Response of Hours to a Technology Shock
We investigate what happens to hours worked after a positive shock to technology, using the aggregate technology series computed in Basu, Fernald and Kimball (1999). We conclude that hours worked rise after such a shock.
