Book excerpt: Most people feel certain that the pace of technological change increases exponentially. They think that the Internet and personal computers are only the most prominent of the many innovations that surge around us and that new ones arrive ever faster. They're certain that never before has the social impact of technological change been as profound or as pervasive as it is today. But they are wrong. The Internet isn't that big a deal. Neither is the PC. Abandon all technology and live in the woods for a week and see if it's your laptop you miss most. In fact, the technologies most important to us are the older ones - the car and telephone, electricity and concrete, textiles and agriculture, to name just a few. The popular perception of modern technology is inflated and out of step with reality. We overestimate the importance of new and exciting inventions, and we underestimate those we've grown up with. Change is not increasing exponentially. In fact, technology has disoriented and delighted for centuries. This book will attempt to recalibrate your thinking by looking at how technological change really happens....If people see technology more clearly, we would have a shrewder citizenry that would demand practical and constructive, rather than expedient or convenient, decisions from their politicians. They would be more able to analyze and discuss the relevant technology issues of the day - from the digital divide, to government support for space and other science programs, to national defense, to the value of computers in schools - and weigh more knowledgeably the pros and cons of what is being offered....Over three decades ago, Future Shock by Alvin Toffler created a sensation by portraying technology spinning out of society's control. Future Hype approaches the same topic but reaches a very different conclusion: that the popular view of technological change is wrong and the future won't be so shocking. We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Book excerpt: * When should children start using computers? * How should schools incorporate computer use into their curriculum? * Which types of computer software programs should be avoided? * Are children who don't have computers in class and at home doomed to fall behind their peers?

Book Synopsis The Efficiency Paradox by : Edward Tenner
Download or read book The Efficiency Paradox written by Edward Tenner and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold challenge to our obsession with efficiency—and a new understanding of how to benefit from the powerful potential of serendipity. Algorithms, multitasking, the sharing economy, life hacks: our culture can't get enough of efficiency. One of the great promises of the Internet and big data revolutions is the idea that we can improve the processes and routines of our work and personal lives to get more done in less time than we ever have before. There is no doubt that we're performing at higher levels and moving at unprecedented speed, but what if we're headed in the wrong direction? Melding the long-term history of technology with the latest headlines and findings of computer science and social science, The Efficiency Paradox questions our ingrained assumptions about efficiency, persuasively showing how relying on the algorithms of digital platforms can in fact lead to wasted efforts, missed opportunities, and, above all, an inability to break out of established patterns. Edward Tenner offers a smarter way of thinking about efficiency, revealing what we and our institutions, when equipped with an astute combination of artificial intelligence and trained intuition, can learn from the random and unexpected.
