Negroponte's fans will want to get a copy of <I>Being Digital</I>, which is an edited version of the 18 articles he wrote for <I>Wired</I> about "being digital." <p> Negroponte's text is mostly a history of media technology rather than a set of predictions for future technologies. In the beginning, he describes the evolution of CD-ROMs, multimedia, hypermedia, HDTV (high-definition television), and more. The section on interfaces is informative, offering an up-to-date history on visual interfaces, graphics, virtual reality (VR), holograms, teleconferencing hardware, the mouse and touch-sensitive interfaces, and speech recognition.<p> In the last chapter and the epilogue, Negroponte offers visionary insight on what "being digital" means for our future. Negroponte praises computers for their educational value but recognizes certain dangers of technological advances, such as increased software and data piracy and huge shifts in our job market that will require workers to transfer their skills to the digital medium. Overall, <I>Being Digital</I> provides an informative history of the rise of technology and some interesting predictions for its future. 55548 1995 Being Digital total:211|5:41|4:81|3:74|2:11|1:4| 211 777 327 17 4 1 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Tue Feb 20 19:23:29 -0800 2007 Tue Feb 20 19:28:11 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jul 25 17:12:46 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 17:15:06 -0700 2008 wah,
