"When Things Start to Think"
by Neil Gershenfeld
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805058745/wendysmall
"We've had a digital revolution," says author Neil
Gershenfeld. "We now need digital evolution." Unlike other
technoprognosticators, Gershenfeld thinks that the
information technology explosion has furthered the
intelligence and capabilities of machines but done little to
meet the needs of the people using them. He proposes a plan
for merging the wired world back into the physical world, so
that the power of computing becomes more accessible. The
director of MIT's Media Lab, Gershenfeld's got his finger on
the pulse of computing's future, and his visions are
realistic rather than sensational.
