Global Information Technology Report, 2001-2002
Author: Geoffrey Kirkman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780195152586
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Very little has been written or published on the global experience vis-a-vis information technology that puts both developed and developing countries into a larger context from which lessons can be extrapolated. Within the IT and Development fields, there has been much talk and hyperbole about the power of IT to transform the economic development process, but very little rigorous analysis has been carried out to document the global situation. The frontier of the field is to explore and understand how IT is being used in the developing world, what the barriers to IT diffusion and adoption are in developing countries, and what the main lessons are from the developing world that can aid in designing policies and solutions that can overcome the international digital divide. The Global Information Technology Readiness Report 2001-2002 provides the first comprehensive and comparative analysis of the diffusion and use of information technology in 70 countries around the world. The Report consists of three main sections: a series of country rankings comparing the global experience of different nations based on various crieteria of IT readiness; a collection of essays by recognized experts on a series of IT-related subjects key to understanding the issues involved in extending the benefits of IT to the developing world; and country profiles that highlight the overall situation and major trends relating to IT within each country. The scope of the Report is quite ambitious, as is the methodology, as data has been generated through a series of surveys of global business leaders. Both the range and depth of the issues and data make the Global Information Technology Readiness Report 2001-2002 a unique and valuable publication.

Bodies in Technology
Author: Don Ihde
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816638468
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
New technologies suggest new ideas about embodiment - our 'reach' extends to global sites through the Internet; we enter cyberspace through the engines of virtual reality. In this book, a leading philosopher of technology explores the meaning of bodies in technology—how the sense of our bodies and of our orientation in the world is affected by the various information technologies. 'Bodies in Technology' begins with an analysis of embodiment in cyberspace, then moves on to consider ways in which social theorists have interpreted or overlooked these conditions. An astute and sensible judge of these theories, Don Ihde is a uniquely provocative and helpful guide through contemporary thinking about technology and embodiment, drawing on sources and examples as various as video games, popular films, the workings of e-mail, and virtual reality techniques. Charting the historical, philosophical, and practical territory between virtual reality and real life, this work is an important contribution to the national conversation on the impact technology-and information technology in particular-has on our lives in a wired, global age.

Gert Wingårdh
Author: Mikael Nanfeldt
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3034610580
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Gert Wingårdh (*1951) is Sweden’s leading architect. His clever and imaginative spatial creations are remarkable in economic as well as ecological and sociological terms. The focus of his designs is always on the needs of the future users. This monograph analyzes the principal aspects of his work in seminal essays by renowned architecture critics and uses text and images to document all the important buildings of his thirty-year career. Editor Mikael Nanfeldt is curator of the Röhss Museum of Design and Applied Arts in Göteborg, the opening venue for a large exhibition of Wingårdh’s work that then moves on to the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm before going on to tour internationally. Wingårdh’s most remarkable projects include prizewinning laboratory buildings in Sweden and the United States, the Swedish embassies in Berlin and Washington, numerous villas, and the Müritzeum, a recently opened visitor center in Waren, Germany. Gert Wingårdh (*1951) ist Schwedens führender Architekt. Seine klugen, erfindungsreichen räumlichen Gestaltungen sind ebenso in ökonomischer wie ökologischer und soziologischer Hinsicht bemerkenswert: immer stehen bei seinem Entwerfen die Bedürfnisse der künftigen Nutzer im Mittelpunkt. Diese Monografie analysiert in grundlegenden Essays renommierter Architekturkritiker die Hauptaspekte seines Wirkens und dokumentiert in Text und Bild alle wichtigen Bauten seiner 30jährigen Tätigkeit. Herausgeber Mikael Nanfeldt ist Kurator des Röhss Museum of Design and Applied Arts in Göteborg, Ausgangsort einer grossen Wingårdh-Ausstellung, die nach dem Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm international gezeigt wird. Zu Wingårdhs bemerkenswertesten Projekten gehören unter anderen preisgekrönte Laborbauten in Schweden und den USA, die schwedischen Botschaften in Berlin und Washington, zahlreiche Villen sowie das jüngst eröffnete Besucherzentrum Waren in Deutschland.
