The Human Use Of Human Beings: Cybernetics And Society
Autor Norbert Wieneren Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mar 1988
Only
a
few
books
stand
as
landmarks
in
social
and
scientific
upheaval.
Norbert
Wiener's
classic
is
one
in
that
small
company.
Founder
of
the
science
of
cybernetics—the
study
of
the
relationship
between
computers
and
the
human
nervous
system—Wiener
was
widely
misunderstood
as
one
who
advocated
the
automation
of
human
life.
As
this
book
reveals,
his
vision
was
much
more
complex
and
interesting.
He
hoped
that
machines
would
release
people
from
relentless
and
repetitive
drudgery
in
order
to
achieve
more
creative
pursuits.
At
the
same
time
he
realized
the
danger
of
dehumanizing
and
displacement.
His
book
examines
the
implications
of
cybernetics
for
education,
law,
language,
science,
technology,
as
he
anticipates
the
enormous
impact—in
effect,
a
third
industrial
revolution—that
the
computer
has
had
on
our
lives.
