Résumé
This paper discusses the issues involved in ICT from an ethico-political
perspective, which states that an innovation is fully justifiable when it contributes to
the empowerment, equality, and autonomy of the agent targeted. With this criterion
in mind, discussing the foreseeable impacts of ubicomp-ICT, it focuses on the
dangers linked to the enhanced asymmetry in the distribution of power within the
organization which it is likely to bring about. If left to "laissez-faire", it is finally
suggested, it might even be seen as a threat to democracy.
