Synopsis
The digital revolution has promised us a future of boundless opportunity at the speed of light, and a limitless vista of entertainment and education. The reality, as most of us know, is something less than that.

In his remarkable book, he takes us on a tour of the future where people - not technology - prevail. Describing how technology will soon have advanced so far that wearable computers that think for us - touching a door handle will unlock a door, picking up a telephone will download your email, a handshake will exchange business cards - Neil Gershenfeld paints a wonderful picture of a society where humans and machines effortlessly communicate."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
