Devices of the Soul Battling for Our Selves in an Age of Machines
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : TALBOTT Steve
In this insightful book, author Steve Talbott, software programmer and
technical writer turned researcher and editor for The Nature Institute,
challenges us to step back and take an objective look at the technology
driving our lives. At a time when 65 percent of American consumers spend
more time with their PCs than they do with their significant others,
according to a recent study, Talbott illustrates that we're forgetting one
important thing--our Selves, the human spirit from which technology stems.
Whether we're surrendering intimate details to yet another database, eschewing our physical communities for online social networks, or calculating our net worth, we freely give our power over to technology until, he says, "we arrive at a computer's-eye view of the entire world of industry, commerce, and society at large...an ever more closely woven web of programmed logic.
