Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. a vanilla complaint about the problem of civilization; freeman shanks us to death with polite nudges, slays us with affable hints and 'histories' of communication...lets us down gently that we've all gone insane. we're all turning into a globe of mal-adjusted, half-robotic, always connected borg-tards. for all the workaholics that can't seem to turn off their screens...well...it seems to me the singularity has already arrived for these fuckwits. The author has a definite bias against email, but makes some good points. I had already done many of the things to pull back out of the email trap and have gone back to much more face to face or phone meetings already. This book strengthened my resolve to do so. It is quite a short read though. Large print and a short book. Some interesting history leading up through the telegraph, history of the post office, and literacy.

Freeman takes an entertaining look at the nature of correspondence through the ages, considers the consequences of email overload, and enters a plea for communication that is more selective and nuanced and, above all, more sociable. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The Tyranny of E-mail is a fascinating history of communication in addition to a critical rant against email itself. ( )
