Chapter Chapter 4 in Technology’s Promise, 2008, pp 42-63 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract From the first cave drawings, to ancient hieroglyphics, Roman texts, Guttenberg’s printing press, telephones, radio, TV, and today’s computers, information systems have steadily grown more powerful, and they have changed the world. Think of the striking break between today’s world of the Internet and the previous world of room-sized computers, punch cards, and the AT&T monopoly.
