Abstract
:
"In Only Connect Trevor Haywood explores the forces at work in the way we 'connect' to share information and knowledge. The central theme of the book explores just how 'transforming' information and communication technologies are in relation to the 'defining' moments of our lives."--BOOK JACKET. "Chapters on Telecommunication and the Internet explore the many changes these technologies are going through, while chapters on the seminal moment, changing spaces and the connecting organization explore the human responses to these, including new constructions of speed, urgency and anxiety."--BOOK JACKET.
