The Dark Side Of Media And Technology: A 21St Century Guide To Media And Technological Literacy - 9781433149016

The 'Dark Side' text is Herculean in its effort to survey for land-mines in a rapidly changing media landscape. The book identifies four dark outcomes related to media and technology use in the 21st century. It balances the dark side with four points of light that are the keys to taking ownership of a media and technology saturated world. The book contains an impressive list of multi-disciplinary experts and cutting-edge researchers who approach 25 separate dark side issues with concise, highly readable chapters, replete with unique recommendations for navigating our mediated present and future. The text is grounded in theory and current research, but has an appeal similar to a page-turning dystopian novel. As a result, it ought to appeal to scholars, students, and even curious lay-readers alike. This book should be the go-to" text for anyone who is interested in learning what the research says about how we use media and technology, as well as how media and technology use us"--
