From the 15th century until the mid-1990s, media based on the
printed word--including books, magazines, newspapers, and
journals--dominated society. Today, however, an onslaught of
digital media centered on the Internet is developing at a
breathtaking pace, destabilizing the very idea of printed media and
fundamentally reshaping our world in the process. This study
explores how Internet entities like Amazon, YouTube, Facebook,
Wikipedia, and Google, and gadgets such as digital cameras, cell
phones, video games, robots, drones, and all things MacIntosh have
affected everything from the book industry and copyright law to how
we conduct social relationships and consider knowledge. Including a
chronology of significant events in the history of the digital
explosion, this investigation of the often overlooked "shadow" side
of new technology chronicles life during such a radical societal
shift and follows the process whereby one world disintegrates while
another takes its place.
