To realize the promise of IT, and minimize the risks, we must experiment with new policies and new institutional structures, make provisional decisions about where we should be headed and then experiment some more. The bright side, says Romer, is that it's doable: "We control this process." Both present and past may be prologue, and indeed we ain't seen nothin' yet, but the story line after the prologue will be determined not by the inexorable commands of a technological god, but by plain old humans...
