Description:Within the next few decades it will be "possible to receive a laser communication at a terminal within the home enabling the citizen to gather information from radio, teletype, microfilm, the telephone, televideo, libraries, satellites, and perhaps even interstellar communication," says Barry Schwartz, editor of this book. This is only one example of the pervasive effects that the new media will have on our society.Will these unprecedented opportunities for wider communication allow our society to develop in a humanistic direction, or will the greater complexity of the communications network only serve to confuse us with a cacophony of sounds and an avalanche of information?The essays in this volume examine what the new media are, what their potential is, and how they may open avenues for human connections. Evaluating the revolutionary aspects of the new media, such distinguished contributors as John Lilly, Peter Goldmark, Buckminster Fuller, Isaac Asimov describe the new media, inclucing holography, lasers, video cables, and cassettes, and discuss their potential impact on human life. The contributors explain how the new media play a growing role in the accelerating rate of social change, and show that through positive use the new media can revitalize our communities and our democracy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
