"The book also presents ideas for educators. For instance, toencourage IT people to be naturally proactive, courses shouldleverage the creation and production of IT projects with solvingsociety's problems. With some effort, this can be done in computersand society courses, at both the general and professional educationlevel. At the professional level, IT workers with such experienceand training will more likely choose to work on problem areas. Atthe general level, people with such experience will actpolitically, to vocalize the expectation that the IT industry willcreate products that help society." (Computing Reviews,September 2010)
