I didn't use the links to read the content (if there was any) of the book under review. As for the review, typical "paid by the column inch" stuff.
I gather part of the argument was that traditional information sources such as encyclopaedias could be closed. If so, any advance in technology causes some skill or source of supply to be at best diluted and sometimes closed and forgotten.
The rope makers, shipwrights in oak, tar suppliers and sail makers of the ships of two centiries ago. The makers of carts and carriages - the traditional blacksmiths - the makers of traditional typewriters, where are they now?
Technology will not be denied will it? And why should it? The entrepreneurs will discover new ideas, new outlets.
One thing remains unchanged - SEX - and of course the lies and deceits perpetrated on us by politicians.

I would argue the exact opposite.
For example, the internet is the largest encyclopaedia there is - and is accessible to almost everyone in the developed world. How many people have an encyclopaedia these days? I don't know anyone that does. You can find out about absolutely everything in interweb land

Actually I believe that the internet and computers in general are making the world smarter constantly. Some things are being made much of that really isn't deserving though. In my line of work I can find more information in a few minutes that just about fifteen years ago would have taken months of searching and locating.
The faster information comes along, the harder it is to deal with it as well. Some information is totally bogus while much more needs to be taken with grains of salt. There is however, a portion of information that is true and very good. Separating the wheat from the chaff is the hardest part it seems.

You have misunderstood what I said ... I was in fact saying that the Internet is an excellent tool and that if traditional information storage devices go under, it is a shame, but part of the price to be paid for progress.
