Shoshana Zuboff quotes about
practice choices accepted
Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.
technology intellectual tasks
Earlier generations of machines decreased the complexity of tasks. In contrast, information technologies can increase the intellectual content of work at all levels. Work comes to depend on an ability to understand, respond to, manage, and create value from information.
time land community

Human relationships aren't professionalized or contractualized; family and friends take primacy. Life has much more continuity than discontinuity. There's a great deal of poetry in everyday life.
leadership empowerment roles

fundamentals demand patterns
