The Internet of Us - Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data

Informationen zum Autor Michael P. Lynch is Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor and director of the Humanities Institute at the University of Connecticut. His previous books include True to Life and The Internet of Us . Klappentext This "fascinating new book" (The New Yorker) shows how our digital way of life makes us overvalue some ways of processing information over others and thus risks distorting what it means to be human. Lynch argues that it will be the way in which we adapt our minds to these new tools that will ultimately decide whether or not the "Internet of Things" will be a net gain for humanity. Zusammenfassung This book revolutionises our understanding of what it means to be human in the digital age.
