As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action.

Summary

This quote suggests that as technology advances and becomes more integrated into our work lives, it separates the process of thinking or decision-making from the actual implementation or execution of tasks. In other words, technology allows us to analyze and plan more efficiently, but sometimes at the expense of direct human engagement in the actions required. The implementation of technology abstracts the thinking process, making it less tangible and disconnected from the physical execution of work.
