Abstract
As with any intellectual endeavor, this one was a journey. We began with certain ideas about how things work and what we might find and we ended in a slightly different, though not surprising, place, after all was said and done. In the spirit of the original Latin, “mutatis mutandis,” our research has changed, or mutated, which was necessary in our thinking and which is precisely what research requires. Our study was born from a small research grant we obtained from the University of Hawaii Foundation in response to a request for proposals about “Technology, Innovation, and Society,” the goal of which was to “stimulate research at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa on the impacts of Technology and Innovation on individuals, societies, cultures, organizations, markets, or governments.” One of the suggested topics was “How does technology change the balance of power in society?” We were immediately drawn to this difficult and complex query.
