Book Recommendation: The App Effect

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:35:00 +0100

Recommending: “Almost overnight, display devices and multi-touch have become the normal user experience. The biggest constant however are our personal apps. In this book we sketch out these major developments in technology and human information behavior. And, in particular, focus on their business impact.

Apps on display devices are “merely” the heart of the issue. What really matters is that this irresistible force works in tandem to create new information behavior that already has begun to profoundly impact organizations. The App Effect will leave a lasting mark on our interaction with products and services.

“We shape our tools and thereafter they shape us.” Never has this been more true than in the present mobile revolution, as Paul Hermelin, Vice-Chairman and CEO of the Capgemini Group, states in his foreword to The App Effect. The following 10 fundamental App Effects and attendant business implications are …read on.”

“When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among others, To make music in the heart.”

The Last Cigarette

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:47:02 +0100

A great new winter read.

A short story by Alexander G. Johnson

“The year 2052, the world is ruled by one central government seated in Hong Kong; the produce of beef has been limited, and the official languages are Mandarin and English! The smoking and planting of tobacco has been outlawed; in London an auction is about to take place of the last remaining, legal, cigarette. The surrounding events that take place
on that day make it a smoke to remember …”

E-Book on Amazon for Kindle, iPhone, iPad and many mobile devices.
Enjoy!
