High Tech High Touch: Technology and Our Search for Meaning Tapa dura - 1999

Información de la editorial

The two biggest markets in the United States are 1) consumer technology and 2) escape from consumer technology. But no matter how much we sometimes crave techno-free havens in our personal and spiritual lives, technology and culture are inextricably merging. High Tech/High Touch examines why and how technology has come to be the greatest unifier in history and presents a crucial compass for navigating the everyday effects of this sweeping global transformation.

Culling evidence from the most fascinating aspects of modern life, consummate trend-spotter John Naisbitt takes on every essential techno-cultural dilemma of our time. From doctors, scientists, and clergy leaders who must collaborate when addressing genetic engineering to parents who must contend with violent computer games, High Tech/High Touch provides a compelling tour of our technological immersion. Naisbitt's forecasts span science, war, religion, commerce, art, communications, entertainment, manufacturing, and nature to present the most complete survey of our technologically defined future to date.
