New Ideas

Tom Standage states in his book the idea that new media are the driving force behind many change movements, revolutions of thought and human behavior. They are the ones who spread the new ideas as it was in the time of the Roman Empire, of post-Reformation Europe, of the American War of Independence. What allowed all this was the dissemination of ideas all interconnected in an informal way, in one way or another, networks of thinkers, readers and writers eager to confront and share.

A Book Testimony

This book reads pleasantly, although there are gaps. It is not easy to enclose two thousand years and more of communication in a book. This does not mean that the book remains a valid testimony of how and to what extent the new media, in particular the so-called "social" ones, represent a gre...
