		Negroponte admits that it sounds as if the world will be as ordered and unemotional as a computer, but because the Internet and the World Wide Web have opened themselves up to so much information, creativity is a must to survive online.
		Negroponte takes all us pseudo-techies, the ones who are too ashamed to admit they just don't quite get 'it', and guides us down the path of digital history.
		Negroponte believes rather than become isolated, technology and computers connect us to cultures, people and ideas previously inaccessible to the average person--even if we have been sitting alone at the computer screen for three days running.

	BEING DIGITAL By NICHOLAS NEGROPONTE
		Negroponte's description of the growth of digital technologies as "almost genetic in its nature" evokes the organic metaphor of exponential growth to describe the dynamic rate and self-organizing character of change.
		Negroponte concludes his book by stating that the future is here, now.
		Oddly enough, only twenty years ago, Negroponte's view of the future would have appeared as almost pure science fiction yet now his reference to intelligent agents, smart rooms and virtual reality are already familiar to many.

		Lo normal es que piense en Nicholas Negroponte, director del MIT Media Lab y reconocido cheerleader del mundo digital y de sus implicaciones en la economía y la sociedad del futuro.
		Negroponte suele ir algo lejos en sus profecías, que en ocasiones parecen más propias de la ciencia-ficción que del análisis del futuro, por lo que hay quienes no tienen reparos en apodarlo "Nutty Nick", que se podría traducir como "Nick el Chiflado".
		Pero también, y justo es reconocerlo, Negroponte demostró sus cualidades de habilísimo orador, cualidades nada extrañas en conferenciantes estadounidenses y que tantas veces echamos a faltar en los europeos.
