Title: Bits vs. Atoms
Product review: I'm fairly certain that the changes Negroponte envisioned haven't happened as quickly as he imagined that they would. The ability to view video-on-demand got bogged down in a nightmare of copyright issues and bandwidth problems and atoms are still unfortunately controlling the way that we are able to experience bits.Despite the fact that much of it is dated, this book is still useful on two levels. It's a good book to make clients (particularly media clients) understand the impact of the difference between the analogue and the digital world. It's also a good book for people who are interested in the history of the Internet. Given how seminal it was, _Being Digital_ will never go completely out of date.
