About this listen

In lively, mordantly witty prose, Negroponte decodes the mysteries--and debunks the hype--surrounding bandwidth, multimedia, virtual reality, and the Internet, and explains why such touted innovations as the fax and the CD-ROM are likely to go the way of the BetaMax.©1996 Nicholas Negroponte (P)2009 Random House Engineering History History & Culture Sociology Technology & Society Technology Computer Science Witty Artificial Intelligence

Critic Reviews
