For those interested in the big picture of history and how technology affects that (and is shaped by that) -- with implications for the future of commerce in our digital world -- Niall Ferguson's new book, The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power from the Freemasons to Facebook is well worth a look. I have posted a full review, with some proactive suggestions, on my other blog.A few extracts:
...a sweeping historical review of the perennial power struggle between top-down hierarchies and more open forms of networks. It offers a thought-provoking perspective on a wide range of current global issues, as the beautiful techno-utopian theories of free and open networks increasingly face murder by two brutal gangs of facts: repressive hierarchies and anarchistic swarms.
...I think Ferguson fails to see the potential for better ways to design, manage, use, and govern our networks -- and to better balance the best of hierarchy and openness. To be fair, few technologists are yet focused on the opportunities that I see as reachable, and now urgently needed.My full review: "The Square and the Tower" — Augmenting and Modularizing the Algorithm (a Review and Beyond)

ReplyDeleteMy developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated! web designer sydney
