520			_a"Technology was once something we thought of only in relation to manufacturing or the military. Now it is a constant theme in everyday interaction. In Communication, Technology and Society Lelia Green examines the technologies of communication, from things we don't even think of as technology, like the alphabet or electricity, through to the rapid-developing world of cyberspace. She argues that technology is never neutral, rather, it is closely linked to culture, society and government policy. Green looks at what drives technological change, showing that the adoption of new technologies is never inevitable. She also explores how a variety of technology cultures coexist an interact: industrial culture, media culture, information culture, and now 'technoculture'. Some communities benefit from technocultures, while others are left out or even damaged. Communication, Technology and Society is written for an international readership and is an ideal undergraduate student text for courses on technology and culture or technology and soceity."--Provided by the publisher.
