Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway Tapa blanda - 1996
de Clifford Stoll
The computer utopia heralded by fans of the Internet is expected to entertain, educate, and inform--by supplying the public with vast amounts of information and in the process turning the fractious world into a global village. In this intelligently written book, the bestselling author of The Cuckoo's Egg warns that we should pay attention to the bogus claims and hidden costs of t his so-called "Information Highway".
Primera línea
It's some caving trip: Far below you is an active volcano from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out, cascading back down into the depths.
Descripción de la solapa
In "Silicon Snake Oil, Clifford Stoll, the best-selling author of "The Cuckoo's Egg and one of the pioneers of the Internet, turns his attention to the much-heralded information highway, revealing that it is not all it's cracked up to be. Yes, the Internet provides access to plenty of services, but useful information is virtually impossible to find and difficult to access. Is being on-line truly useful? "Few aspects of daily life require computers...They're irrelevant to cooking, driving, visiting, negotiating, eating, hiking, dancing, speaking, and gossiping. You don't need a computer to...recite a poem or say a prayer." Computers can't, Stoll claims, provide a richer or better life.
A cautionary tale about today's media darling, "Silicon Snake Oil has sparked intense debate across the country about the merits--and foibles--of what's been touted as the entranceway to our future.
