[Air-L] informatization

[Barry Wellman]

I think  you all have it right.
"informatization" is one of the family of "zations" - often blame for the 
world's ills or successes -- like urbanization, industrialization, 
bureaucratization.

You can look it up in the periodic table of utopia/dystopia - with a xlink 
to Creative Class.
