Now the Chips Are Down: The BBC Micro
by Alison GazzardIn 1982, the British Broadcasting Corporation launched its Computer Literacy Project, intended "to introduce interested adults to the world of computers and computing." The BBC accompanied this initiative with television programs, courses, books, and software -- an early experiment in multi-platform education. The BBC, along with Acorn Computers, also introduced the BBC Microcomputer, which would be at the forefront of the campaign. The BBC Micro was designed to meet the needs of users in homes and schools, to demystify computing, and to counter the general pessimism among the media in Britain about technology. In this book, Alison Gazzard looks at the BBC Micro, examining the early capabilities of multi-platform content generation and consumption and the multiple literacies this approach enabled -- not only in programming and software creation, but also in accessing information across a range of media, and in "do-it-yourself" computing. She links many of these early developments to current new-media practices. Gazzard looks at games developed for the BBC Micro, including Granny's Garden, an educational game for primary schools, and Elite, the seminal space-trading game. She considers the shift in focus from hardware to peripherals, describing the Teletext Adapter as an early model for software distribution and the Domesday Project (which combined texts, video, and still photographs) as a hypermedia-like experience. Gazzard's account shows the BBC Micro not only as a vehicle for various literacies but also as a user-oriented machine that pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved in order to produce something completely new.

Now You See It
by Davidson Cathy N.When Cathy Davidson and Duke University gave free iPods to every member of the incoming freshman class in 2003, they didn't expect the uproar that followed. Critics called it a waste: What educational value could a music player have for college kids? Yet by the end of the year, Duke students had found academic uses for the new devices in virtually every discipline. The iPod experiment proved to be a classic example of the power of disruption -- a way of refocusing attention to illuminate unseen possibilities. Using cutting-edge research on the brain, Davidson shows how the phenomenon of "attention blindness" shapes our lives, and how it has led to one of the greatest problems of our historical moment: Although we blog, tweet, and text as if by instinct, far too many of us still toil in schools and workplaces designed for the last century, not the one we live in. To change this, we must ask ourselves critical questions: How can we redesign our schools to prepare our kids for the challenges they'll face as adults? What will the workers and workplaces of the future look like? And how can we learn to adapt to life changes that seem almost too revolutionary to contemplate?Davidson takes us on a tour of the future of work and education, introducing us to visionaries whose groundbreaking ideas will soon affect us all. Now You See It opens a window onto the possibilities of a world in which the rigid ideas of the twentieth century have been wiped away and replaced with the flowing, collaborative spirit built into the very design of the Internet.

The NSA Report: Liberty and Security in a Changing World
by President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, The Richard A. Clarke Michael J. Morell Geoffrey R. Stone Cass R. Sunstein Peter SwireThe official report that has shaped the international debate about NSA surveillance"We cannot discount the risk, in light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future, high-level government officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily sensitive private information is there for the plucking. Americans must never make the mistake of wholly 'trusting' our public officials."—The NSA ReportThis is the official report that is helping shape the international debate about the unprecedented surveillance activities of the National Security Agency. Commissioned by President Obama following disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, and written by a preeminent group of intelligence and legal experts, the report examines the extent of NSA programs and calls for dozens of urgent and practical reforms. The result is a blueprint showing how the government can reaffirm its commitment to privacy and civil liberties—without compromising national security.

La nueva edad oscura: La tecnología y el fin del futuro
by James BridleEntre tanto dato no contrastado, posverdad y fake news, este libro nos alerta y nos empuja a vislumbrar la verdad en esta nueva edad oscura de la información. Cuanto más aumenta la complejidad del mundo tecnológico, más disminuye nuestra comprensión de la realidad: la información que recibimos a diario está plagada de datos no contrastados, de posverdad, de teorías conspirativas... Todo esto nos convierte, cada vez más, en náufragos perdidos en un mar de especulación. James Bridle, el mediático tecnólogo y autor de estas páginas, nos advierte ante un futuro en el que la promesa contemporánea de un conocimiento brindado por la tecnología puede traernos justo lo contrario: una era de incertidumbre, algoritmos predictivos y minuciosos sistemas de vigilancia. Un libro magistral y aterrador que nos adentra en la inquietante tormenta que acecha el debate de las maravillas del mundo digital. Reseñas:«Espero los lectores no disfruten esta perceptiva y sugerente obra, sino que, más bien, sientan pavor.»Will Self, The Guardian «Bridle es un artista y escritor que debate sobre la relación entre tecnología, cultura y conciencia y cuya fama aumenta por momentos. Entre los temas alrededor de los cuales gira su arte están los drones y los coches automatizados. Su nuevo y ambicioso libro presenta cómo la era digital está modificando radicalmente los paradigmas de la experiencia humana.»The Guardian «La obra revela la forma en la que se nos tiene deliberadamente desinformados y cómo estamos adentrándonos de manera inconsciente en un futuro de vigilancia ininterrumpida que nubla nuestros sueños sobre las maravillas del mundo digital.»Financial Times «Un Orwell en la era de la tecnología.»Kirkus Reviews «James Bridle demuestraser un maestro a la hora de encontrar contradicciones en las tecnologías actuales. Este es un libro de extrema importancia en estos tiempos.»Bernard Hay, The Quietus «Un alarmante grito de guerra. El autor es extremadamente convincente al abogar por una interacción más informada con las tecnologías que hemos creado.»Ben Eastham, ArtReview «Una perspectiva firme y una provocación necesaria. Horroroso pero fascinante.»Jamie Bartlett, Spectator «Un libro tan original como provocador.»Pat Kane, New Scientist «Mi ejemplar de este libro está repleto de notas que se amontonan en los márgenes. Me siento como un estudiante de química orgánica que, abrumado, siente la necesidad de subrayarlo absolutamente todo: todo es importante y está conectado y, al mismo tiempo, el autor describe intencionadamente un mundo sin sentido. Denso, absorbente y convincente a más no poder.»Barbara Fister, Inside Higher Education«Este es uno de los libros más perturbadores y reveladores sobre Internet que he leído jamás, lo cual viene a ser lo mismo que decir que es uno de los libros más perturbadores y reveladores que he leído sobre el mundo contemporáneo.»New Yorker «Una tenebrosa puerta que se abre a una nueva era. Una obra escalofriante sobre la oscuridad del mundo digital y los peligros más imprevisibles e imparables que hemos traído al mundo desde el Proyecto Manhattan.»Vice
La nueva mente del emperador: En Torno A La Cibernética, La Mente Y Las Leyes De La Física (Ciencia Y Tecnología Ser.)
by Roger PenroseUn apasionante paseo por la matemática y la física, y por los hallazgos del pensamiento humano. Durante décadas, los defensores de la inteligencia artificial han mantenido que los ordenadores harán pronto todo lo que la mente humana puede hacer. En su favor, se puede utilizar, por ejemplo, el que ya hay máquinas que juegan al ajedrez como los grandes maestros. Ahora bien, ¿comprenden el juego como lo hacemos nosotros? En este libro, Roger Penrose, probablemente el especialista en la teoría general de la relatividad más prestigioso del mundo y una de las mentes analíticas más originales de la actualidad, sostiene que existen facetas del pensamiento humano que nunca serán emuladas por un ordenador. Para defender esa tesis, Penrose recurre a una amplia gama de conocimientos científicos, que van desde la máquina de Turing hasta la estructura del cerebro, pasando por el teorema de Gödel, los agujeros negros y los blancos, la radiación de Hawking, la entropía o la mecánica cuántica. Entre los numerosos estudios existentes dedicados a la relación entre la mente y el cuerpo, esta ambiciosa obra sobresale tanto por su lucidez y claridad como por su rigor y profundidad. Reseña:«Un libro audaz, brillante e innovador. Cuando Penrose habla, los científicos escuchan.»The New York Times Book Review
