Description
"It is technology's saturation of American society - with its fabulous innovations and its devastating consequences - that John Naisbitt and his coauthors Nana Naisbitt and Douglas Philips explore in this book. By conciously examining our relationship with technology as consumers of products, media, and emerging genetic technologies, we can learn to become aware of the impact technology will have on our daily lives, our children, our religiosity, our arts, and our humanness. High Tech - High Touch is a cautionary tale that shows us how to make the most of technology's benefits while minimizing its detrimental effects on our culture."--BOOK JACKET.
