This review is from: Connections: Patterns of Discovery (Hardcover)
I found this book to be entertaining, informative, and insightful. It covers a great deal of information technology, history, and draws relationships between many different aspects of inventing across various fields of computer science. By identifying patterns in innovations, it shows how major trends developed for information processing over the past half century. In addition, it describes how some of these trends might progress over the next decade.
The book follows the connections of information flow to highlight search technology. It follows the connections of microchips in building computers, networks, and small wireless devices. Then it connects all these inventions through ubiquitous computing and a ubiquitous Web. Like the TV-Series hosted by science historian Jake Burke, the book links ideas, innovations, and inventors to build stories about trends and interrelationships. The Information Age's innovations from vacuum tubes to transistors, from computers to networking, and simple programming to intelligent software are presented and followed by forecasts for their continued development. |
