This book provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand introductory
guide to information, offering students the critical tools they
need to shift their positioning from consumers and users to
creators and critics. Searching, accessing, and using information
are central to most daily lives. Yet, many users are not able to
define what information is, identify who controls information, and
create information to achieve a common good. In this book, Micky
Lee teaches readers to critically interrogate key issues such as
the categorization of information and knowledge throughout history,
what digital divides are, why information is gender and race
biased, how governments and corporations control citizens and
consumers, as well as how we can resist unbalanced power relations.
Readers will not only be able to relate these issues to "old"
technologies, such as writing and printing, but will also be able
to examine futurist technologies through the lenses of these
enduring issues. A thoughtful and comprehensive overview, this is
an ideal book for students and scholars of media studies,
information and society, and communication and technology.
