Living in Digital Worlds investigates the relationship between
human society and technology, as our private and particularly our
public lives are increasingly undertaken in spaces that are
inherently digital: digital public spaces. The book unpicks why
digital technology is such an inextricable part of modern society,
first by examining the historical relationship between
technological development and the early progression of human
sociality. This is then followed by an examination of the ways in
which modern life is currently being impacted by the expansion of
digital information and devices into multiple aspects of our lives,
including focuses on privacy, bias and ownership in digital spaces.
Finally, it explores potential future developments and their
implications, and proposes that it is crucial to consider the
design of technology and systems in order to support a positive and
beneficial direction of change. Each chapter includes case studies,
primarily drawn from The Creative Exchange, a fiveyear programme
which ran from 2012 to 2016 to explore the notion of the digital
public space through collaborative cross-sector research.
