商品簡介
From one of the rising stars in mobile technology, this indispensable book explores the ways our digitized world is transforming our behavior, from how we consume information to how we parent—and what we should do about it.
Does having instant access to your child via Facebook, Twitter, and text cause more or less parental anxiety? If a congregant can reach more people via one Tweet than a rabbi or minister can, who holds more authority? What kind of memorabilia will be passed on to the next generation if we don't physically own the music we download?
Addressing philosophical yet practical questions like these, Digilance combines wisdom, strategies, and future-oriented thinking to help us act and develop our response to the digital and mobile revolution that is changing the world. Weaving together his experiences as a digital developer and marketer with research from leading mobile technology experts, Bonin Bough delves deep into the effects of these cultural changes and how we can—or whether we should—redress them. For example, the digitization of our personal health, known as “The Quantified Self,” means that consumers can be super-cognizant of what they put inside their bodies. Good news? Maybe, but it's also given rise to “Cyberchondriacs”—a growing group of people who could have a large impact on public health spending.
Overflowing with examples based on the latest research, Digilance will challenge, surprise, and provoke you while also inspiring numerousaha moments. For anyone concerned with the ways technology is shaping our world and that of future generations, this is a book you can't afford to miss.
