商品簡介
Superconnected: Digital Media and Techno-Social Life brings together knowledge from the many literatures in which the author, Mary Chayko, has been immersed (sociology, communication, media and technology studies) and provides an overview of social life that is mediated by various digital technologies: the Internet, social media, and mobile devices. Individual chapters explore topics such as how digital technology led to the modern information age; information-sharing and surveillance; how techno-media shapes socialization and development of the self; digital divides that separate groups in society; and the impact of techno-media across social institutions (family, health care, religion, the economy and workplace, politics).
