The claim that an information revolution is underway is scrutinized in this paper. Particular attention is given to the ntoions that new information technology will radically increase human choice and ratioanlity in decision-making. The literature on informatics and technology is selectively reviewed in order to determine whether (1) the present use of technology seems to predict an increased choice and rationality in the future; (2) earlier tecnologies have had this effect; and (3) past social predictions of this type have proven generally correct. We reach a mixed or negative concludion in every case. ALthough the possibility of an information revolution cannot be dismissed, neither can it be readily accepted at this point unless we significantly diministh what is normally meant by a 'revolution'.
