Survey From The Mesopotamian Valley To Silivon V, A

SIGNS OF THE TIMES traces the evolution of communication, revealing the development and cultural significance of alphabetic and pictographic scripts. From hieroglyphics and cuneiform came the first alphabets of Egypt, Phoenicia, and Greece, reflecting their world and its values. A thousand years later Gutenberg's printing press and its diffusion of ideas set the stage for the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the age of revolutions. <br><br> The impact of technology - printing typewriters, computers, global networking - preceded a digital revolution with creation of binary codes, the explosion of personal computers, and the WorldWide Web. Multi-media experts analyze current changes and their implications for our physical and spiritual world. Will the growth of conformist computer elites spawn the exclusion of computer illiterates and a new kind of alienation? Is the future of the book..the blurb? The book has survived the radio, film and TV-will it survive the digital age? SIGNS OF THE TIMES shows our world as it was, is now, and will be.
