The geek, in strict sense — the . excentric. , obsessed person any by a subject who was a little dropping out of reality.

After a decade designing technologies meant to address education, health, and global poverty, award-winning computer scientist Kentaro Toyama came to a difficult conclusion: Even in an age of amazing technology, social progress depends on human changes that gadgets can\'t deliver. Computers in Bangalore are locked away in dusty cabinets because teachers don\'t know what to do with them. Mobile phone apps meant to spread hygiene practices in Africa fail to improve health. Executives in Silicon Valley evangelize novel technologies at work even as they send their children to Waldorf schools that ban electronics. And four decades of incredible innovation in America have done nothing to turn the tide of rising poverty and inequality. Why then do we keep hoping that technology will solve our greatest social ills? In this incisive book, Toyama cures us of the manic rhetoric of digital utopians and reinvigorates us with a deeply people-centric view of social change. Contrasting the outlandish claims of tech zealots with stories of people like Patrick Awuah, a Microsoft millionaire who left his engineering job to open Ghana\'s first liberal arts university, and Tara Sreenivasa, a graduate of a remarkable South Indian school that takes impoverished children into the high-tech offices of Goldman Sachs and Mercedes-Benz, Geek Heresy is a heartwarming reminder that it\'s human wisdom, not machines, that move our world forward. The history of science is all around us, if you know where to look. With this unique traveler\'s guide, you\'ll learn about 128 destinations around the world where discoveries in science, mathematics, or technology occurred or is happening now. Travel to Munich to see the world\'s largest science museum, watch Foucault\'s pendulum swinging in Paris, ponder a descendant of Newton\'s apple tree at Trinity College, Cambridge, and more. Each site in The Geek Atlas focuses on discoveries or inventions, and includes information about the people and the science behind them. Full of interesting photos and illustrations, the book is organized geographically by country (by state within the U.S.), complete with latitudes and longitudes for GPS devices. Destinations include:Bletchley Park in the UK, where the Enigma code was broken The Alan Turing Memorial in Manchester, England The Horn Antenna in New Jersey, where the Big Bang theory was confirmed The National Cryptologic Museum in Fort Meade, Maryland The Trinity Test Site in New Mexico, where the first atomic bomb was exploded The Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, California You won\'t find tedious, third-rate museums, or a tacky plaque stuck to a wall stating that Professor X slept here. Every site in this book has real scientific, mathematical, or technological interest -- places guaranteed to make every geek\'s heart pound a little faster.

It is about different approaches methods empirical studies and concerns about a phenomenon that is increasingly being in the centre of sciences and strategies 8211 the penetration of digital technologies in the urban space. As the main outcome of the CyberParks Project this book aims at fostering the understanding about the current and future interactions of the nexus people public spaces and technology. It addresses a wide range of challenges and multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging phenomena related to the penetration of technology in people8217s lifestyles - affecting therefore the whole society and with this the production and use of public spaces.
