The cheap power pumped out by  electric utilities not only changed how  businesses operated but also brought the modern  world into existence. Today a similar revolution is under way. Companies are dismantling their  private computer systems and tapping into rich  services delivered over the Internet. This time  it’s computing that’s turning into a utility.  The shift is already remaking the computer  industry, bringing new competitors like Google  to the fore and threatening traditional  stalwarts like Microsoft and Dell. But the  effects will reach much further. Cheap computing will ultimately change society as profoundly as  cheap electricity did. In this lucid and  compelling book, Nicholas Carr weaves together  history, economics, and technology to explain  why computing is changing—and what it means for  all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Carr\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Shallows\u003c\/i\u003e, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and five other acclaimed books.
