Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Information must have some social life; nothing gets around as fast. Many observers actually believe that society's technical zeal is moving too quickly, that we are ignoring human experience in the quest for automation. In The Social Life of Information John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid attempt to moderate the high-tech medium with a human message.
No strangers to technology themselves, they argue that society is split between the entrenched positions of the technophiles and the technophobes: "Those with tunnel vision condemn the foolishness of humanity for clinging to the past. Those exasperated by tunnel design tend to cheer the downfall of new technology as if it were never likely to come to any good." Resolving this conflict is the aim of the book.
Eight distinct essays navigate the outer reaches of cyberspace from infopunditry to the limits of management theory. Intriguing case studies bolster the arguments, from the neglect of the hinge ("written out of every futuristic movie in favour of the sliding door") to comparisons between the interplay of human minds and improvisational jazz.
The Social Life of Information is a diverting addition to cyberculture's growing bookshelf and recommended reading for all who cling to the coat tails of the online world's fastest globe-trotting star. --Iain Campbell

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This wonderfully written book by two leading IT specialists is so chock-a-block with colorful metaphors that one might think that there really is a future for people who believe that the internet is an evolutionary - not a revolutionary - gain in society and business.
'Where do you want to go today by staying at home'.
They lament the focus the on technology over information in IT that "pushes aside all the fuzzy stuff - context, background, history..." as we deify the channel.
Without a sense of community the knowledge and information that creates and sustains the business is lost and unfocused. Relying on frail and ever changing technology as the backbone of a business is a recipe for failure. Therefore the new depends on the stability of the old to succeed.
However knowledge is nearly worthless without the mechanisms - both technological and social - to disseminate it. Knowledge is not a commodity to pass around like a shrimp ring that can be weighed, shipped or mined.
Thus the information and knowledge structures of a business are based on two, distinct "I" "T" functions: networks, the collective knowledge of an organization and; communities, the informal collectives that filter, modify and utilize that information. And information flows along the "topography" of practice and routine in the organization. The key is to balance free form business structures with formal organizational practices.
"To play with the boundaries - of firms, networks, communities, regions, and institutions - as innovation increasingly demands, requires first acknowledging them.
If you can only read one business book on the future of IT, this is the one.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is great on reflections about the use of information technology and knowledge building. Instead of antecipating technological breakthroughs, authors show how the use of information guides the future steps in IT field. Conclusive predictions fail very often when based just in technology; however, users behavior, (usually overlooked) is the key for an understanding of technology trends.

Paul Duguid and John Seely Brown talk at length about howcomputer network interactions are embedded in a broader socialcontext, and how the folks who talk about how daily life will be reduced to a stream of interactions with brute machines totally don't get how people figure into the context of these interactions. Some of the chapters are from earlier papers they put together and published on the net, but there's a lot of new materials. A particularly interesting discussion from the authors (Brown is at Xerox Parc, Duguid is a historian at Berkeley) is of Xerox's support system for copier techs called "Eureka". This is kind of like a "frequently asked questions" or "innovative solutions to problems" database, with a couple key human touches that (they claim) cause people who are otherwise busy doing real work to contribute to and update it...
