For instance, the United Kingdom \u003cem\u003eData Protection Act 1984\u003c\/em\u003e gave British subjects some rights of access to computer-held information on themselves but not to paper records. \u003cstrong\u003eFrom Writing to Computers\u003c\/strong\u003e takes as its central theme the issue of a unifying intellectual principle to connect books and computers. Julian Warner uses an approach based on semiotics, and also draws on linguistics, information science, cognitive science, philosophy and automata studies. Covering a range of topics from the relations between speech and writing, to transitions from orality to literacy and claims for a transition to an information society, the author aims throughout to render complex ideas intelligible without loss of rigour. \u003cstrong\u003eFrom Writing to Computers\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses ordinary readers who, as social beings and members of political communities, are affected by, and implicated, in significant developments in methods for storing, manipulating and communicating information. It is also intended for students of the disciplines on which the book draws: semiotics, information studies, linguistics, computer science, philosophy and psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041509612X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415096126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Julian Warner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064866124031,"sku":"9780415096126","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0143d16-6ec1-4467-8298-c48b5508a0dc.jpg?v=1768671560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-writing-to-computers-julian-warner-9780415096126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
