English abstract:
The present paper discusses the social an political aspects of technology change and transfer in the domain af automation and ICT during the pioneering era in Poland (the case study country). The paper presents some of the projects led by an exemplary leading designer who has led successfully a dozen or so significant projects (on comparison to not more than one successful significant projects that the other ICT pioneers were allowed to lead) and discusses the social and political impacts of the project. The paper discloses new information in this area since other researchers, in general, do not possess the necessary knowledge of the actual working conditions in the automation and ICT industry and those who do are not brave enough to disclose them, thus criticizing big HI-Tech providers.
