Digital Information: Real-Time, Immersive and Intelligent
Tuesday, November 5, 2002
9:00 AM - 9:45 AM

Knowledge is on the move, immersing us in facts, figures and opinions delivered through a continuous digital media tide on TV, on the web, via our car computers and pocket PCs. Media technologist Jack Powers takes us on a guided tour of the developing real-time media universe, from the networked multimedia home to pocket digital libraries, from instant wireless access to intelligent information robots. You'll see what smart businesses are deploying today, what leading developers are planning for the next few years, and what visionary academics foresee as the long-term future of information online.

IN3 BOOKS
(Click cover to order.)

After the Internet: Alien Intelli- gence.
IT guru James Martin blows past the Pinnochio arguments of academic AI by outlining how intelligent machines will be smart but very different from humans, artificial and alien to the way people think. His section on genetic algorithms, neural networks and cellular automata, "Machines That Breed," is worth the price of the whole book.

The
Guten- berg Elegies: The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age. Literary critic Sven Birkerts doesn't like what emerging information technologies like the World Wide Web, CD-ROMs and hypertext are doing to us. He argues that reading a book is physically, philosophically and culturally better than viewing a computer screen, and he worries that electronic media culture is destroying oru individuality and making wisdom obsolete.
