There are certain things I simply adore about the information age. One of those things is the ease, and speed, with which I (as a fan) can connect with someone whose work I like. The latest iteration of this phenomenon for me is Mark Hurst, author of Bit Literacy. I found the book a real eye-opener chock-full-’o incredibly useful distinctions and tips for navigating the information age and managing the often overwhelming volume of information the age asks us to deal with.
I wrote a review of the book on Amazon, and the next morning got an email from Mark thanking me. How cool is that! In the ever shrinking and accelerating realm of human interaction that the information age, and its physical expressions like the internet, the ability to connect simply, painlessly, and directly always fills me with a great sense of hope.
The copy I originally read of Bit Literacy was from my local library. After getting the letter from Mark I wanted to show my support, but I still did not want to buy another paper book. The solution? The Kindle app for my iPhone. Bingo. Four bucks later I get to vote with my money for an author I enjoy, and I have the content for easy future reference.
Cheers!
