Nicholas Carr writes about technology and culture. His latest book, “The Glass Cage,” asks:
What kind of world are we building for ourselves? That’s the question bestselling author Nicholas Carr tackles in this urgent, absorbing book on the human consequences of automation. At once a celebration of technology and a warning about its misuse, The Glass Cage will change the way you think about the tools you use every day.
With a characteristic blend of history and philosophy, poetry and science, Carr takes us on a journey from the work and early theory of Adam Smith and Alfred North Whitehead to the latest research into human attention, memory, and happiness, culminating in a moving meditation on how we can use technology to expand the human experience.

Is good story much suspense. All actors really good sexy dances I like best. The blonde one Maria Ford was hottest one I love her dancing she so very beautiful she look glamour yaah movie thumb up hot women good story too.
In pointing out the failures of automation Carr is being very disingenuous in pointing out only selective cases of failure. I don't think anyone argues that software, algorithms or automated hardware are perfect. But if you compare the failings of human decision making, automation does much better. Especially when the process is repetitive. I'll give you the example of traffic police in India who do a very poor job in managing traffic. Algorithms do an infinitely better job in easing traffic on the streets.
His slides were sarcasm, he only used a couple of words, but it's excellent
great talk. I love these google talks because you can see how skeptical and somewhat incredulous the questioners become at the end, like they're somehow defending full automation which is directly tied to their livelihoods. see also the talk by Daniel Levitin.
….I smell fear tee hee hee
Nicholas Carr is just so brilliant–and such a thoughtful and balanced speaker. Everyone should read his books.
He may have some pretty good insight here and there, but its mixed in with over generalized horseshit. Being free of work is absolute bliss.
Automation in all things is always preferable, so long as it is done correctly. Anything less than perfection in automation is just an engineering failure.
Very interesting and insightful. Thank for sharing that. I will definitely read the book.
Not more sophisticated, the easiest method at that time.
