Norman Fraser

Using data taken from a major European Union funded project on speech understanding, the SunDial project, this book considers current perspectives on human computer interaction and argues for the value of an approach taken from sociology which is based on conversation analysis.

The rise of the computer in the last few years has changed the world. It has also changed how we sin. And sadly, Christians seem to be as vulnerable as everyone else. The Bible says nothing about hacking or surfing the net or downloading copyrighted material. How can we walk as Jesus did when we sit in front of a computer screen? Norman Fraser shows that the Ten Commandments are as relevant to Silicon Valley as they were on the slopes of Mount Sinai, and show us how to behave in virtual reality as well as in the flesh. They tell us how we may love the Lord our God, with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength.
