(More customer reviews)I work for a major university, specifically in their fundraising departments and one of the things that we keep hearing more and more about is social media and how to maximize on the whole web "thing". This is one of the reasons I wanted to read Web On-The-Go: A Previews of the Way of Living in a Wireless Web World.
Author Bala Sankar starts his book off by giving us some history into how technology came to be (there is even a section with Leonardo Da Vinci! He segways into how human beings have developed a "love" and sometimes "hate" relationship with technology, but his main point is strongly heard throughout the book - technology is advancing at an incredible speed and we need to be able to keep up and to understand just what is possible right now and what is coming.
This book is very complete and will be a dream book for all you techno addicts out there. Absolutely every aspect of the world of technology is covered - including things like "why cells don't work in the forest darn it - and how come they haven't gotten to that point in technology yet" (this was a favorite of mine as this has happened to me!!!).
This book is definitely a book on gadgets, the web present and future and while I thought it might have been dry (full of facts), the author did a surprisingly good job of detailing the subject matter in an everday, fun, conversation type of voice. I especially like it when stories were included.
This is an interesting read and frankly a bit of a scary one as I keep asking myself what on earth else our little brains can think of to develop!

This book presents innovative ideas with fictionalized examples based on the concept of Web On-The-Go. It is a must read for all policy makers, city council, government executives, engineers, and the general public.
