Telecosm (eBook, ePUB)

How Infinite Bandwidth Will Revolutionize Our World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The last technological revolution was that of the microchip, which put a computer on every desk, and enshrined Microsoft and Intel as the dominant companies of the microcosm. The next revolution is that of the telecosm: a world of infinite bandwidth, ultra high-speed networking, and communications power that liberates each desk from the limitations of its PC. In the telecosm, networks of exponentially greater power replace PCs, and cathedrals of glass and airwaves transmit the sum total of human knowledge at the speed of light.
