NEW PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT
**********************************************************************
CYBERNAUTICS DIGEST
---
A MONTHLY SUMMARY OF WRITINGS
ABOUT CONVERGING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
**********************************************************************
_Cybernautics Digest_, a 20-page monthly newsletter published in
Seattle starting in November 1994 is designed for those who wish to
stay abreast of the literature about converging information
technologies. Because the best writing about significant information-
technology developments is scattered among hundreds of niche-oriented
publications, it is difficult to stay informed without spending
considerable time in a good research library. The situation is
particularly ironic at a time when digital technology is blurring the
lines between traditional business markets--a phenomenon known as
"digital convergence."
_Cybernautics Digest_ is designed to give readers advance warning
about developments outside their traditional areas of interest. Its
editors follow hundreds of publications in a wide range of areas to
locate the most informative reports about key technological
developments that may cut across traditional market boundaries. The
objective is to provide a "whole systems" perspective on the global
information industry.
_Cybernautics Digest_ contains brief summaries of important articles
published mainly in the business and technical press. The focus is on
those articles that provide insightful analysis of new information
technologies, business trends, and public-policy issues. Aside from
summarizing this literature, editors provide readers with details
about how they can obtain the full text of articles mentioned, either
by mail or electronically through full-text databases.
The publication is written for those in such fields as product
development, marketing, planning, research, finance, journalism,
consulting, and education. It would also be of value to serious
technology enthusiasts.
The concept for the publication was developed by Terry Hansen,
founding editor of _Puget Sound Computer User_ in Seattle. In 1983,
while completing his master's degree in science journalism at the
University of Minnesota, Hansen became managing editor of _Computer
User_ in Minneapolis (now the heart of a national network). In 1986
he moved to Seattle, a major hub of the PC software industry, to help
found _Puget Sound Computer User_, currently one of the most
successful and widely read publications of its kind, and the first
successful spinoff of the Minnesota edition.
"Cybernautics," is a synthetic word which means "exploration of the
digital machine." Thus, the publication is a digest of articles about
the global digital machine, in all its aspects.
Future editions of _Cybernautics Digest_ may be available via a World
Wide Web server but initial issues will be distributed via first-class
mail only.
