The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google This instant

The Big Switch is a well written book that takes the reader a a journey through time and the technology that makes our day the way it is. It starts by talking about how accessible power changed the way factories and communities worked. The more that bought electricity the cheaper it became and eventually the majority is reliant upon that power. Taking this concept Carr parallels the development of electricity to our modern web era. Today most of us can't get by without checking our email or facebook status updates. We have become reliant upon it and us it in every day situations, google maps, ordering pizza, taking to our family and making business plans/advancements. Overall the book opened my mind to how the internet is changing our societies and cultures into one big melting pot.Get more detail about The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google.
