Too Much Is Not Enough

LTG (Ret.) Clarence E. McKnight, Jr., ("Mac") a native of Tennessee and 1952 graduate of West Point, served in the Korean War, commanded two Signal Battalions in Europe, including Commander, 5th Signal Command/deputy chief of staff for communications-electronics, U.S. Army Europe. He served as commandant of the U.S. Army Signal Center and School, and commander, U.S. Army Communications Command. He served four tours as commander of Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and concluded his active career as Director of Command, Control and Communications Systems for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C. Mac believes the extraordinary promise of digital communications technology is being squandered as government, schools and individuals are inundated with more information than they can manage. Indeed, he is concerned that digital technology is corrupting society in unforeseen ways that is undermining our social cohesion, political stability and economic strength. This book is a warning and call to arms.
