Zusammenfassung:Like most technology revolutions, the Internet is sweeping across the world in waves. The first wave revolutionized how we get information and communicate, changing the way we live, work, and learn. Now we're set to ride a second wave, one that will have as much impact on the world of physical products as the first wave had on the world of information. Because as bandwidth soars and the PC is augmented by everything from handheld wireless devices and e-books to auto PCs and interactive television, we will see a massive transformation of products and services from physical to digital form. The author goes on to look at the transformation of: recorded music, software, electronic books, and pricing models.
