What is The Information Technology Revolution (MIT Press) about?

And a Boeing 767 would cost just $500 and would circle the globe in 20 minutes on five gallons of gas. Tom Forester's comparison points up the dramatic reduction in the cost of computing and this collection of essays he has assembled unfolds the equally dramatic changes that the revolution in electronics, computing, and telecommunications has brought about in the way we live and work-and maybe even think.The Information Technology Revolution emphasizes actual case studies and much of the material has been written by computer engineers in the front line of technological change.</p><p>Extensive chapters deal with the revolution in telecommunications, artificial intelligence and thefifth generation of supercomputers, the rise of the personal computer and the use of information technology in schools, factories, offices, banks, shops, and hospitals.Among the social issues discussed are computer crime, privacy, the impact of new technology on women, the Third World,'smart' weapons, and the future of work itself.
