Book Description

The first three sections of this book cover the emergence of digital technology, the effects of digital technology on art and culture, and the ways that this technology has positioned itself among all forms of media. Wolf (communication, Concordia U. Wisconsin) concludes with a somewhat more esoteric section that broadens the scope, examining the ways that digital technology effects people's perception of their environment and the ways that it "mediates and abstracts the indexical linkages between the observer and observed."Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
