Goodbye, Information Age--Hello, Age of Digital Entertainment. Clearly, the emerging U.S. National Information Infrastructure (NII) is being created as much to support interactive
television, video-on-demand, multimedia CDs, video games, virtual reality theme parks, and other digital entertainment services as it is to deliver what most of us recognize as "information." However, no
matter how entertainment-oriented the NII turns out to be, it will surely provide the foundation for a new generation of information services. Directed mainly at professionals involved with the development and delivery
of information services, this book explores how that entertainment orientation--as reflected in specific emerging technologies--is likely to shape the information services of tomorrow.
