Te Mata o te Tai – the edge of the tide: rising capacity in information technology of Maori in Aotearoa‐New Zealand

Abstract

This paper argues that one can extract relevant lessons in the information technology era from one’s colonial past. One such lesson is to understand how information technologies might further impact on one’s knowledge. While there are many recent information technology projects, they are often ad hoc and in “pilot” or “trial” mode, reducing any chance of sustainability or “proof of concept”. However, experience has taught people some of the pitfalls, management and effectiveness of information technology, and the capacity to understand, select and critique is increasing. Thus, the edge of the tide creeps slowly forward.
