註釋Connecting the Clouds: The Internet in New Zealand takes the reader on an informative and entertaining ride through our telecommunications history and the people who have shaped it. The important issues and choices facing us today are explained in plain language. It provides valuable insights into the evolving communications framework that helped New Zealand shift from an isolated outpost of the British Empire to a nation of digital pioneers intimately connected and active in the emerging global village. As advances in computer and Internet technology continue to transform government, business, communities and our personal lives, it's essential that there should be well-informed debate from a wide cross-section of the New Zealand community. This highly readable and accessible book aims to spur that debate.Writer Keith Newman has conducted over 100 interviews with visionaries and scientists, computer programmers, telecommunications experts, engineers, business leaders and politicians. The result is a fascinating, highly readable account that marks a key chapter in New Zealand's development as a modern nation.
