The first group presented the book “Against the Machine, Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob. The author Lee Siegel talks about how the internet is re shaping our thoughts about ourselves. The first chapter talks about profit and idealism. This talks about the how the internet is sold modern commerce. The group presenters believed that this author had views that they did not agree with. Also, they looked at the reviews of the books and agree with the views of others. I found this interested because I looked at the reviews for my book and found it to be quite accurate.
The second group presented the book written by Howard Rheingold. The book is called “Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.” The first presenter talked about texting and that the place he visited was Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is the world’s most advanced texters and they have texter gangs. The author later talks about computer chips and how it can be embedded into money. A lot of these topics the author is talking about are actually currently being used or still in development.
