Product Description

Review
""The Network Nation ... "contained a fascinating vision. In it home computers are as common as the telephone. They link person to person, shrinking, as the authors put it, 'time and distance barriers among people, and between people and information, to near zero.' In its simplest form, the Network Nation is a place where thoughts are exchanged easily and democratically and intellect affords one more personal power than a pleasing appearance does. Minorities and women compete on equal terms with white males, and the elderly and handicapped are released from the confines of their infirmities to skim the electronic terrain as swiftly as anyone else. --Teresa Carpenter, Village Voice

Product Description
"The Network Nation" has become a standard reference for the field of computer mediated communication (CMC). This revised edition adds a substantial new chapter on "superconnectivity" (invented and defined in the unabridged edition of the "Online Dictionary of the English Lanaguage, 2067" that reviews the developments of the last 15 years and updates the authors' speculations about the future. Hiltz and Turoff highlight major current organizational, educational, and public applications of CMC, integrate their theoretical understanding of the impact of CMC technology, address ethical and legal issues, and describe a scenario in 2084.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 31 Dec 2001
By Mr. I. Waring "Ian Waring" (Pamber Heath, Hampshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the book that was the key influence of the real authors/thinkers behind Notes-11, VAX Notes and then Lotus Notes. The main content of this book was written in 1978, and focusses on Computer Mediated Conferencing Systems - long before message boards (and even the Internet) gained worldwide significance.

The amazing thing is that you have to keep referring back to that date, as the content feels much more recent. Probably one of the best cases of University professors being way ahead of their time in their thinking and in their research.

We're still some way from realising some of their predictions (eg: electronic voting). The issues discussed are just as relevant today. I'd commend the book for this as well as it's influence on the history of some fine software products.
