Description: "It is technology's saturation of American society - with its fabulous innovations and its devastating consequences - that John Naisbitt and his coauthors Nana Naisbitt and Douglas Philips explore in this book.

High Tech - High Touch is a cautionary tale that shows us how to make the most of technology's benefits while minimizing its detrimental effects on our culture."--BOOK JACKET.
