Oxford UP, 2016
¿De qué se trata?
Emerging digital technologies are profoundly changing professions like law, medicine and the clergy.
Recommendation
Legal technology expert Richard Susskind OBE and his son, Oxford economics professor Daniel Susskind, offer a lucid discussion of how technology is transforming the professional disciplines. While some of their examples – such as Wikipedia or the Khan Academy – will be familiar, others are freshly intriguing. The Susskinds methodically discuss how the technological, social, economic, psychological, ethical and emotional aspects of the professions are changing under the impact of emerging technologies. getAbstract recommends their look ahead to anyone in a professional discipline and to anyone interested in how technology is changing society.
