Description:Bit transmission technologies are not communication technologies! I argue that most so- called Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are neither information nor communication technologies. They are, instead, simply bit transmission technologies that need to be critically decompiled and rebuilt if they are ever to have any potential as communication technologies. The so-called "theory of communication" authored by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1949 is the root cause of this widespread misunderstanding of transmission-as-communication. As one example, I examine the technical underpinning of so-called “automatic translation” technologies to illustrate this critical flaw in almost all contemporary “communication” technologies. I am especially concerned with the way existing ICTs dumb down the content of conversation, exclude communicational context and participation, and sterilize the spaces of online interaction by employing simplistic means to condense and map information and communication exchanges.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
