Author: Subrata Dasgupta | Narrator: Mike Chamberlain
By the end of the 1960s, a new discipline named computer science had come into being. A new scientific paradigm - the "computational paradigm" - was in place, suggesting that computer science had reached a certain level of maturity. Yet as a science, it was still precociously young. New forces, some technological, some socioeconomic, some cognitive, impinged upon it; the outcome of which was that new kinds of computational problems arose over the next two decades. Indeed, by the beginning of the 1990s, the structure of the computational paradigm looked markedly different in many important respects from how it was at the end of the 1960s.
Author Subrata Dasgupta named the two decades from 1970 to 1990 as the second age of computer science to distinguish it from the preceding genesis of the science and the age of the Internet/World Wide Web that followed. This book describes the evolution of computer science in this second age in the form of seven overlapping, intermingling, parallel histories that unfold concurrently in the course of the two decades.

Guardrails Guiding Human Decisions in the Age of AI [Audiobook]
Free Download Guardrails: Guiding Human Decisions in the Age of AI (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CR4DP8RY | 2024 | 7 hours and 39 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 210 MB
Author: Urs Gasser, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger
Narrator: Anand Jagatia

How society can shape individual actions in times of uncertainty. When we make decisions, our thinking is informed by societal norms, "guardrails" guiding our decisions, like the laws and rules that govern us. But what are good guardrails in today's world of overwhelming information flows and increasingly powerful technologies, such as artificial intelligence? Based on the latest insights from the cognitive sciences, economics, and public policy, Guardrails offers a novel approach to shaping decisions by embracing human agency in its social context. In this visionary book, Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don't always want and explain how society itself can provide guardrails more suited to the digital age, ones that empower individual choice while accounting for the social good, encourage flexibility in the face of changing circumstances, and ultimately help us to make better decisions as we tackle the most daunting problems of our times, such as global injustice and climate change. Whether we change jobs, buy a house, or quit smoking, thousands of decisions large and small shape our daily lives. Decisions drive our economies, seal the fate of democracies, create war or peace, and affect the well-being of our planet. Guardrails challenges the notion that technology should step in where our own decision making fails, laying out a surprisingly human-centered set of principles that can create new spaces for better decisions and a more equitable and prosperous society.

The First Circumnavigators Unsung Heroes of the Age of Discovery
Free Download The First Circumnavigators: Unsung Heroes of the Age of Discovery By Harry Kelsey
2016 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0300217781 | EPUB | 5 MB
Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships. The author contends that these initial transglobal voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in European and American archives, offers fascinating stories of treachery, greed, murder, desertion, sickness, and starvation but also of courage, dogged persistence, leadership, and loyalty.

Free Download The Death of Character: Moral Education In an Age Without Good or Evil By James Davison Hunter
2000 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0465047300 | DJVU | 5 MB
The Death of Character is a broad historical, sociological, and cultural inquiry into the moral life and moral education of young Americans based upon a huge empirical study of the children themselves. The children's thoughts and concerns-expressed here in their own words-shed a whole new light on what we can expect from moral education. Targeting new theories of education and the prominence of psychology over moral instruction, Hunter analyzes the making of a new cultural narcissism.

Texture Human Expression in the Age of Communications Overload
Free Download Richard H. R. Harper, "Texture: Human Expression in the Age of Communications Overload"
English | 2010 | pages: 315 | ISBN: 0262083744, 0262518147 | PDF | 0,8 mb
Our workdays are so filled with emails, instant messaging, and RSS feeds that we complain that there's not enough time to get our actual work done. At home, we are besieged by telephone calls on landlines and cell phones, the beeps that signal text messages, and work emails on our BlackBerrys. It's too much, we cry (or type) as we update our Facebook pages, compose a blog post, or check to see what Shaquille O'Neal has to say on Twitter. InTexture, Richard Harper asks why we seek out new ways of communicating even as we complain about communication overload. Harper describes the mistaken assumptions of developers that "more" is always better and argues that users prefer simpler technologies that allow them to create social bonds. Communication is not just the exchange of information. There is a texture to our communicative practices, manifest in the different means we choose to communicate (quick or slow, permanent or ephemeral).
