TL;DR
It is said that when a thing is new, people say: "It is not true." Later, when its truth becomes obvious, it is said: "it is not important."
Abstract
When a thing is new, people say: "It is not true." Later, when its truth becomes obvious, they say: "It is not important." Finally, when its importance cannot be denied, they say: "Anyway, it is not new." Adapted from William James

Managing information resources at the department level: an agency perspective
15 Citations2003Cynthia Mathis Beath, Detmar W. Straub
The authors argue that changes in the economics of computing make it feasible to locate information-resource management closer to the tasks where that information is used, and have caused a focus on agency costs of residual efficiency losses, monitoring, and bonding to arise.
