From the famed Harvard psychologist and an expert on the impact of
digital media technologies, a riveting exploration of the power of
apps to shape our young people-for better or for worse No one has
failed to notice that the current generation of youth is
deeply-some would say totally-involved with digital media.
Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today's young people
The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what
it means to be "app-dependent" versus "app-enabled" and how life
for this generation differs from life before the digital era.
Gardner and Davis are concerned with three vital areas of
adolescent life: identity, intimacy, and imagination. Through
innovative research, including interviews of young people, focus
groups of those who work with them, and a unique comparison of
youthful artistic productions before and after the digital
revolution, the authors uncover the drawbacks of apps: they may
foreclose a sense of identity, encourage superficial relations with
others, and stunt creative imagination. On the other hand, the
benefits of apps are equally striking: they can promote a strong
sense of identity, allow deep relationships, and stimulate
creativity. The challenge is to venture beyond the ways that apps
are designed to be used, Gardner and Davis conclude, and they
suggest how the power of apps can be a springboard to greater
creativity and higher aspirations.
