The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It di Jonathan Zittrain

On the one hand, this is mistitled. I kept waiting for the big explanation of how to stop the potentially bad future of the Internet, and the author never really delivered on that. It should have been called something like The Power of Generativity, and Why It's Worth Preserving, but that probably wouldn't have sold as many copies.

That said, it's a good book that sets out a fair amount of historical perspective in illuminating contemporary issues, and it's worth a read. Just don't expect it to live up to the title.… (altro)

The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It di Jonathan Zittrain

Cogent and meticulously documented analysis of the conflict between devices and networks that are "generative" (open and unrestricted) and those that are "locked down" ("tethered", "appliancized") to foil spam, malware, privacy invasion, etc. Zittrain sees the Wikipedia phenomenon as offering hints as to how to preserve generativity while containing its pitfalls. (Book freely retrievable from www.futureoftheinternet.org/download)

The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It di Jonathan Zittrain

Zittrain differentiates tethered devices (like the BlackBerry charging on my desk) from generative devices (like the laptop on which I write these words). Argues that much of the innovation that led to the features of the Internet that we enjoy (and that makes it so useful is threatened by the centralization that we see happening (see Nicholas Carr).
