BACKGROUND 

Information technology is often described as one of the "converging technologies for improving human performance" (Mihail Roco, 2002). It is expected to link up intimately with biotechnology and nanotechnology and to allow human beings to do much more than people have ever dreamt of. Information technology will become invisible, because it will be embedded in each and every tool we use.
