Nearly every American's environment now consists of cable television, video cassette players, answering machines, fax machines, and personal computers.

National focus on the production and distribution of information stems directly from the organizing principles and realities of the market system, not from a revolution sparked by the invention of the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available in paperback, \u003cem\u003eTendencies and Tensions of the Information Age, \u003c\/em\u003ebrings together findings from many disciplines, including classical studies, etymology, political sociology, and macroeconomics.
