Review Growing Up Digital: Rise of the Net Generation (Oracle Press Series) / McGraw-Hill Inc.,US:With the help of about 300 members of the Net Generation, or N-Gen, Don Tapscott explores what the Internet and other digital interactive technology is doing to and for our children. Despite fears that new technology is making kids more antisocial and less intellectual, Tapscott shows that kids are using it to play, build relationships and explore their world. And while the digital world has dangers, it also has greater opportunities. Tapscott shows the role technology plays in how N-Genners learn, socialize among themselves, and interact with friends and family-often through insightful quotes from the kids themselves. Tapscott demonstrates how many clear truths, for instance that learning is social, have led to false conclusions, such as that computer use, being an individual activity, hampers social learning. And, with his N-Gen helpers, he puts the hype about Net porn in perspective. As one 15-year-old puts it, "I have never 'stumbled' into a site I didn't want to see. Not like on TV where I have occasionally flicked the channel only to 'stumble' into some gruesome murder scene. " Yet the author also acknowledges that every new development has its problems and offers commonsense caution, quoting Alan Kay: "We don't have natural defenses against fat, sugar, salt, alcohol, alkaloids-or media. Television should be the last mass-communications medium to be naively designed and put into the world without a surgeon general's warning. [+]".

Review Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution / Allen Lane:Everyone in computing has heard of Linux and hundreds of millions use it every day. Every Net user accesses Linux systems dozens of times during any Net session. Yet because people associate products with companies, Linux-with its thousands of largely anonymous volunteer developers and free availability-is a difficult fit with our world view. The Rebel Code puts Linux into an historical and social context. Based largely on interviews with the main players and precise historical data (Linux kernel releases are dated to the second) it traces Free Software from its early eighties origin with Robert Stallman's founding of the Gnu Project and takes it as far as the end of 2000 with Gnu/Linux becoming a worldwide phenomenon running handheld PDAs, PCs and Macs, IBM mainframes and powering the world's biggest supercomputers. Glyn Moody charts every milestone in the development of the Linux kernel from Linus Torvalds' first installation of Minix. As important, he follows the progress of major Free Software projects-essential to the success of Gnu/Linux-from Emacs and GCC to Sendmail and XFree86 finishing with KDE and Gnome. The end result is a curiously exciting and compulsively readable tale which stands comparison with Tracy Kidder's book, The Soul of a New Machine. Endlessly fascinating, you'll be up reading it well past bedtime. -Steve Patient.

Review The New Online Investor, 2nd Edition / John Wiley & Sons:The online revolution is turning private investment into a mainstream activity, widening and deepening share ownership and redistributing market power. In the US, the process is well underway, and the UK and Europe are not too far behind. Peter Temple can justifiably claim to have been one of the first on the Internet investment scene. Online Investor was first published in 1997 and with Stephen Eckett's Investing Online was one of the forerunners. If Internet years are really measurable in months, as people say, this revised and updated version is long overdue. The New Online Investor will "help private investors gain access to cheap tools that can help improve their investment performance. " As a full-on guide to navigating and profiting from the Web, it is up there with the best of them. Access and information are the key words for clued-up private investors and Peter Temple's accessible style will help tap into that money-making edge. The first quarter of the book caters for Web beginners. It is basic, but will prove useful for would-be online Buffett's yet to suss out the Internet. [+]From there on, the financial information comes thick and fast. There is excellent work on Web-based research using bulletin boards, newsgroups and online services and essential information on accessing share prices, company data and software online. Later chapters address the share dealing process itself as well as introducing some of the more adventurous securities and derivative products available for online trading. The clean and sober page design contrasts with the more in-your-face style of other online publications and the pearls of wisdom in the text occasionally require digging out, but it is worth the effort. Temple expresses clearly and concisely the fundamentals of trading wisdom; "value rather than price is what the investment process is all about," "getting swayed by the reactions of the crowd is the antithesis of what makes a successful investor. " The New Online Investor deserves to become one of the cornerstones of every serious beginner's online library. -Iain Campbell.
