Paul Kennedy, award-winning author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers and one of today’s most renowned historians, now provides a new and unique look at how World War II was won.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

■空気のようなインターネット 2016年に『さよならインターネット　まもなく消えるその「輪郭」について』という本を中央公論新社から出しました。インターネット論というほどのものではないけれど、これまでのインターネットと、これからのインターネットについて真面目に語ったもので、最近だとドワンゴの川上量生（かわかみ・のぶお）さんが出した『鈴木さんにも分かるネットの未来』（岩波書店）と、方向性は似ています。 発端は、僕が知り合いの編集者に、うちの会社にいる二十歳のインターンの子の話を、なにげなくしたことでした。 そのインターンの子は、こんなことを言っていました。 「家入さんはよくインターネットが大好きって言ってますけど、僕にはよくわか らないんです。なんだか、例えばハサミを好きって言ってるみたいで……」(本文より) 家入一真　「家入学級」はこちらから→ http://yakan-hiko.com/ieiri.html

各地・各学校でのIT機器（主にタブレット）の導入について、筆者なりの「現場への導入はどうあるべきか」「どういう条件を大切にすべきか」という意見を述べてみたい。 ■管理はどうするのか 学校でIT機器を使うということは、児童・生徒だけでなく、教師も含め「不慣れな人の山の中で使う」ことである。まあ、すばらしくよくわかっている先生・生徒がいる場合もかなりの割合で想定できるのだが、そうした人々には依存しないように全体戦略を立てるのが望ましい。 そういう意味で考えると、「管理」は2つの観点で成り立っている。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

“フォーブスのトップ200社など、世界のトップ企業が採用するセキュリティ技術とは？”などと書くと、どこかの広告のようだが、大手企業が契約しているサイバーセキュリティ技術はイスラエルの、ごく一部の企業に集中している。以前から漠然と疑問に思っていたのだが、偶然にも自動車のサイバーセキュリティに関して取材をしているときにその理由を知った。ご存知のとおりイスラエルは地理、政治、宗教などにおいて複雑な状況にあり、日常的にテロの脅威にさらされている。このため諜報機関や軍事組織が発達していることはご存知だろう。国民皆徴兵制で、多くの国民は高校卒業後、大学に入る前に徴兵義務をこなすという。(本文より)本田雅一　続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

From the Sunday Times top ten best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. "It's about the terror, isn't it?" "The terror of what?" I said. "The terror of being found out." For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world, meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made jokes on social media that came out badly or made mistakes at work.

Ninety-five percent of American kids have Internet access by age 11; the average number of texts a teenager sends each month is well over 3,000. More families report that technology makes life with children more challenging, not less, as parents today struggle with questions previous generations never faced: Is my 13-year-old responsible enough for a Facebook page? What will happen if I give my nine-year-old a cell phone?

ダイソンが掃除機や扇風機で蓄積してきたノウハウを活かして参入した“ヘアドライヤー”という新しい事業領域。その高価格（4万5000円）が話題だ。高価だけに、SNSのタイムラインで検索をすると、本当にその価値があるのか？という視点での話題が拡がっている。 また、高価格を肯定するために、必要以上に広告やPRで消費者をミスリードするメッセージを出しすぎているのではないか？　という意見もあった。家電ベンチャーCEREVOを経営する友人の岩佐氏は「618gのドライヤなんて軽くないぞ！　メディアよ、ダイソンのPR戦略に踊らされるな！ ...という話」というブログを書いていた。 ダイソンの製品は悪くないが、そのPR戦略の踊らされているマスコミはおバカであるという指摘だ。実際にお馬鹿な記事が大量にあるかどうかはともかく、ダイソンが“消費者を踊らせるPR戦略”をしているかというと、まったくそんなことはない。(本文より) 本田雅一　続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

The Mobile Wave argues that the changes brought by mobile computing are so big and widespread that it’s impossible for us to see it all, even though we are all immersed in it. Saylor explains that the current generation of mobile smart phones and tablet computers has set the stage to become the universal computing platform for the world. In the hands of billions of people and accessible anywhere and anytime, mobile computers are poised to become an appendage of the human being and an essential tool for modern life.

A New York Times technology correspondent presents the dramatic rise and fall of Uber, set against the rapid upheaval in Silicon Valley during the mobile era. Based on hundreds of interviews with current and former Uber employees, along with previously unpublished documents, Super Pumped is a pause-resisting story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth, and bad behavior, that explores how blistering technological and financial innovation culminated in one of the most catastrophic 12-month periods in American corporate history.

Alan Turing can be regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45, Turing was also the father of the modern computer. Today, all who 'click-to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas. Here, B. Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work, exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions.

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town. A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather than making things, they simply connect people. The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.

Humans conquered the world thanks to their unique ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money, equality and freedom–as described in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In Homo Deus, Prof Harari looks to the future and explores how global power might shift, as the principal force of evolution–natural selection–is replaced by intelligent design.

Gegenstand des Hörbuches ist eine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit der aktuellen Jugendkultur. Welchen Einfluss haben Influencer, in wie weit prägt und verstärkt Social Media klassische Geschlechterrollen, wie sieht die von der Werbebranche getriebene online Welt wirklich aus und wie politisch sind die „Z's“? Analysiert wird außerdem wie Dating Apps Liebe und Beziehungen dieser Generation verändert und warum die Generation Z als “einsamste” Generation gesehen wird.

Cos’è l’economia dell’attenzione? Come ci condiziona? Per James Williams, prima strategist di Google poi filosofo formatosi a Oxford, la più recente minaccia alla libertà degli uomini viene dai sistemi di persuasione intelligente che sempre di più indirizzano i nostri pensieri e le nostre azioni. Mentre le tecnologie digitali rendevano abbondanti le informazioni, la nostra attenzione è diventata la risorsa che scarseggia e che le tecnologie competono per catturare, senza preoccuparsi di seguire gli obbiettivi che ci prefissiamo e aiutarci a raggiungerli.

The Age of Prediction is about two powerful, and symbiotic, trends: the rapid development and use of artificial intelligence and big data to enhance prediction, as well as the often paradoxical effects of these better predictions on our understanding of risk and the ways we live. Beginning with dramatic advances in quantitative investing and precision medicine, this book explores how predictive technology is quietly reshaping our world in fundamental ways, from crime fighting and warfare to monitoring individual health and elections.

Immaginiamo un futuro in cui sapiens supertecnologici controlleranno, con le loro intelligenze aumentate, il mondo; mentre altri sapiens desueti, saranno relegati a un ruolo marginale. Uno scenario solo fantascientifico?Oggi l'intelligenza artificiale, le neuroscienze, le nanotecnologie, la genetica modificano in modo sempre più vertiginoso il rapporto tra l'uomo e la natura. Nella storia dell'umanità sta succedendo qualcosa che potrebbe anche portare alla fine di Homo sapiens.

Obra-prima em termos de pensamento original e pesquisa, A era do capitalismo de vigilância, de Shoshana Zuboff, apresenta ideias alarmantes sobre o fenômeno que ela nomeou capitalismo de vigilância. Os riscos não poderiam ser maiores: uma arquitetura global de modificação comportamental ameaça impactar a humanidade no século XXI de forma tão radical quanto o capitalismo industrial desfigurou o mundo natural no século XX.

Pedro Carvalho es Pato Aviador, uno de los perfiles de referencia en temas de aviación en redes sociales. Con casi 70.000 seguidores en Twitter, el autor del éxito Algo espantoso está a punto de ocurrir desmenuza en este nuevo libro los accidentes aéreos más terribles, esos que han traído de cabeza a los investigadores, pero que han permitido hacer grandes cambios en la industria para que estas tragedias no vuelvan a suceder. Porque los accidentes aéreos -insiste Carvalho- no ocurren en vano.
