Name for the
age we live in.
Also an excellent
book written by
Steven Johnson. Subtitled "How New
Technology Transforms the Way We
Create and
Communicate."
Short excerpt: "As our
machines are increasingly
jacked- in to global
networks of
information, it becomes more and more difficult to imagine the
dataspace at our fingertips, to picture all that
complexity in our mind's eye... Representing all that information is going to require a new
visual language, as complex and meaningful as the great
metropolitan narratives of the nineteenth-century novel."
Johnson charts the vital role
interface design plays in our
modern society.
