false 6337143 1 In a world that divides us, technology creates connection. Cell phones, e-mail, digital cameras, personal Web sites—they all join us, however tenuously, to what we value. Is connectivity what we’re willing to pay for? Should technology be our servant or a tool that helps us do other things? What can we really learn from Napster? What would intelligent standards for touch-screen user interface look like? How does technology evolve, and what drives that evolution? <p> For Dan Bricklin, technology cannot exist independently of the lives and needs of those who use it. For more than a decade he has shared his thoughts on this essential interdependence in blogs, podcasts, and essays. This volume compiles those observations, putting together case histories and new reflections for a fascinating study of how people and technology affect one another. Whether you’re a software developer or a student of human nature, you’ll find yourself drawn into this most intriguing discourse—because you are its subject. 6523021 4 5 2009 Bricklin on Technology total:3|5:1|4:0|3:2|2:0|1:0| 3 11 6 2 3 0 true false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 07:39:15 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 11:51:12 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 09 21:43:47 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 21:50:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 14:27:20 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 14:27:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 21:09:14 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 21:09:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 16 23:46:17 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 23:46:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 14 15:35:10 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 15:35:10 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6337143
