Description

Explore the evolution of American society through the lens of information technology. In Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age, authors Schement and Curtis examine how the hunger for data and technological advancements have reshaped daily life in the United States. Rather than viewing the digital era as a sudden revolution sparked by the computer, this work argues that the information age developed gradually throughout the twentieth century. This book provides a deep look into how the production and distribution of information are shaped by the organizing principles and realities of the market system. It moves beyond simple technological history to look at the social and economic structures driving change. For students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, and media studies, this text offers a foundational perspective on how our environments - from cable television to personal computers - have been constructed by long-standing market forces.
