Reviews
Editor Derek Leebaert, author of Technology 2001: The Future of Computing and Communications (1992), contends that standardization, coupled with further sophistication of software technology, is pivotal to the future of computers. Leebaert, who teaches computer technology at Georgetown, has collected the opinions, knowledge, and prophecies of 13 of his peers in academia and the corporate world to provide this wide view of the vast potential software possesses and the multifarious directions it may take. Among the interesting contentions are attorney Jeffrey Cunard's comments about the "shrink wrap" license on the packaging of software products and the future of software law as an entity in itself, akin to, yet separate from, copyright law. Stimulating articles that will be of interest to an audience beyond dedicated computer buffs. Denise Perry Donavin
