Book Description:
Praise for The Internet Weather 'James Moore has written a provocative and timely book on the Internet and its implications for the core values of our society. While the Internet has promised to deliver increased value in time, truth, trust, and privacy, at the same time it potentially invades each of these core values. I find myself being challenged by the points that Moore makes on how the Internet affects my life giving me more time but at the same time intruding on my time; wanting to trust but finding it difficult to trust; fearing for intrusions on my privacy; seeking the greater truths, but finding truth harder to attain. The Internet Weather is both thought provoking and easy to read. I highly recommend it to managers of all levels, for consideration of the sovereignty of employees; to Internet users, for consideration of privacy and the idea of buying privacy; and to everyone in this evolving society, for how new technologies may affect them and their value systems. ' James E. Brumm Executive Vice President and General Counsel Mitsubishi International Corporation 'Change is constant, and managing change has always been very challenging. Living and working in Silicon Valley, I constantly ponder the impact of the Internet. Mr. Moore provides a compass in this ever changing internet weather, an unusual and insightful perspective on the reasons behind recent technological developments, and a set of principles for the future. The principles of time, truth, trust, and privacy, as Mr. Moore brilliantly articulates here, are the true compass for weathering the storms in technology development, and in business in general. I loved this book, and I would recommend it not only to those of us in technology, but also to anyone concerned about the impact of technology on the way we think and the way we interact with each other.' Jack Jia Senior Vice President of Engineering Interwoven
