“…Newspapers wanted additional outlet, especially for "excess" news that did not get printed (Compaine, 1985). Banks and other firms were interested in reducing transaction costs via electronic transactions (Tydeman et al, 1982). In this way, videotex became a vessel for a mingled potpourri of opportunistic actors and interests.…”

This article calls for research on new technologies at a level of analysis where what seems unchanged is salient and yet the newness of the new technology is given due consideration. It demonstrates the value of this approach by analyzing the decentralization of information systems wherein user-generated content eventually provided the unexpected winning solution for service providers who had long struggled in making their content attractive to the public at large. It identifies three stages in the decentralization process: hierarchy (top-down), open-hierarchy (top-down network, bottom-up content creation), and un-order (bottom-up). The analysis indicates that the Achilles’ heel of hierarchical systems is content creation and that creates pressure to move towards more open configurations that allow for user-generated content. The authors suggest that the framework presented in this article will prompt a more sophisticated analysis of the next new technology even if it does not have a similar development pattern.

This study investigated differences between electronic shoppers and nonshoppers among videotex users in terms of shopping orientations, videotex usages, and demographics. Data (N = 55 1 ) were collected via questionnaires sent to I ,ooO current subscribers to a major videotex company. By utilizing discriminant analysis, it was found that shopping orientations and videotex usages were successful overall in distinguishing electronic shoppers from nonshoppers. However, demographics were relatively unsuccessful. Significant variables included eight factors of shopping orientations (easy use of electronic shopping; high-tech in-home shopper; home shopping prone; low perceived ambiguity; recreational shopper; low perceived high cost: shopping opinion leader; and less convenient/time-conscious shopper]: and six factors of videotex usages (general information; information exchange; financial information; cornputer/professionaI forum; length of videotex usage; and satisfaction with videotex services); and one demographic variable (education).
