Dennis L. Bark

4.9/5 (19831 ratings)

Description:In early 1995, Dennis Bark finally confronted his digital demons. As Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, he was well aware that there was a technological revolution afoot all around him. Stanford, after all, is in the heart of Silicon Valley, ground zero for many of the computer industry's most impressive innovations.A specialist in foreign affairs and relations between Western Europe and the United States, Bark also was friendly with some of the most important people in the computer business, including Hewlett-Packard cofounder David Packard. Yet Bark had always loved and respected tradition. He wrote letters longhand, and he signed his correspondence with real ink. He treated the PC in his office as a glorified typewriter. Finally, though, curiosity overwhelmed reluctance.In Doctor Bark's Amazing Digital Adventure, Bark recounts his stumbling transformation from Luddite to Information Age Acolyte, then uses his academic expertise and sense of humor to explore the way life is changing because of computers and Internet technology. Doctor Bark's Amazing Digital Adventure is the perfect backgrounder for the computer and Internet novice, for committed Luddites, even for veteran Web users looking for a broader perspective on the significance of the Internet. Bark draws on his remarkable grasp of history, economics and political science for insight into the Internet's effect on the way we live, yet he never loses his sense of wonder, his ability to be delighted and appalled by what he discovers in the Digital Domain.From its explanation of bits and bytes to its illuminations on e-commerce and the global economy, this book demystifies thedigital world in a clear, entertaining fashion, and serves as the perfect tonic for those who fear that tradition will become a victim of the digital age.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
