The Internet & American Business
It's finally here! The Internet and American Business has arrived via MIT Press. From the jacket blub: "Tracing the impact of the commercialized Internet since 1995 on American business and society, the book describes new business models, new companies and adjustments by established companies, the rise of e-commerce, and community building; it considers dot-com busts and difficulties encountered by traditional industries; and it discusses such newly created problems as copyright violations associated with music file-sharing and the proliferation of Internet pornography."
My contribution is called "Resistance is Futile? Reluctant and Selective Users of the Internet." It explains why a series of industries -- including healthcare and higher education -- have not yet been radically transformed by the Internet.
