Recenzii

'The collection of articles in Cultural Technologies has breadth and leaves room for ample discussion on cultural perspectives and more pragmatic matters concerning hardware and software technologies. For American audiences, the diverse international authorship is refreshing and broadens discussions on culture, technology, and globalization.' Diane Martinez, Technical Communication
'[O]riginal and inventive approaches to technologies […] Students and researchers conducting research on some of these areas would clearly need to consider the studies presented in this volume.' Terje Rasmussen, University of Oslo, for Nordicom-Information
