You Are Not a Gadget
Author: Jaron LanierPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307593142
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER A programmer, musician, and father of virtual reality technology, Jaron Lanier was a pioneer in digital media, and among the first to predict the revolutionary changes it would bring to our commerce and culture. Now, with the Web influencing virtually every aspect of our lives, he offers this provocative critique of how digital design is shaping society, for better and for worse. Informed by Lanier’s experience and expertise as a computer scientist, You Are Not a Gadget discusses the technical and cultural problems that have unwittingly risen from programming choices—such as the nature of user identity—that were “locked-in” at the birth of digital media and considers what a future based on current design philosophies will bring. With the proliferation of social networks, cloud-based data storage systems, and Web 2.0 designs that elevate the “wisdom” of mobs and computer algorithms over the intelligence and wisdom of individuals, his message has never been more urgent.

The Pivotal Generation
Author: Henry ShuePublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691226245
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
"We all recognize that climate change is a supremely important issue of our time, which requires both trans-national and trans-generational collaboration and shared responsibility. What we haven't yet fully appreciated, argues political philosopher Henry Shue, are the ethical considerations surrounding the fact that the next one or two decades will determine whether climate change, which already has led us to dangerous effects, will surge into inescapably disastrous effects. The people alive today thus represent a pivotal generation in human history. For the past two centuries humans have undermined our climate at an increasing rate, in ways that the present generations are the first to fully understand, and the last to be able to reverse. But our responsibility for decisive and immediate action rests on three special features of the relation of our present to the future, that many have failed to realize (1) future generations face dangers greater than ours even if we act robustly, (2) the worsening dangers for future generations are currently without limit, and (3) a less robust effort by us is likely to allow climate change to pass critical tipping points for severely worse and potentially unavoidable future dangers. Shue, a renowned scholar of ethics, politics and international relations who has been studying the ethics of climate change for the last two decades, guides us through what our ethical responsibilities to others are, both across the world but especially over time, and what those commitments require us to do in addressing the climate change crisis, now and forcefully"--
iGen
Author: Jean M. TwengePublisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.

Delinquency, Pop Culture and Generation Why
Author: Jack S. MonellPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781469943664

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This book is a brave attempt to explore two fundamental questions: How does juvenile delinquency effect pop culture? How does generation X and Y perceive delinquency? Unit 1 gives a historical account on delinquency as a subculture, often characteristic of urban, impoverished youth that have become oppressed and marginalized. This section is devoted to a sociological and anthropological exposition of how juvenile delinquency arose and what variables contribute to the development of a law violating counterculture. In particular, this chapter will explore infamous juvenile delinquents that have changed the way our legal systems handle violent juveniles. This thought provoking book explores our thoughts, beliefs and ideological constructs that compels us to struggle with the age old question of when exactly does a child become responsible for his/her actions? Moreover, is it humane to sentence a thirteen year old to a lifetime of imprisonment? The case vignette of Juan actively crystallizes how our society's perception of delinquency has changed over the last few decades.
