New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman declared the modern age
in which we live as the 'age of distraction' in 2006. The basis of
his argument was that technology has changed the ways in which our
minds function and our capacity to dedicate ourselves to any
particular task. Others assert that our attention spans and ability
to learn have been changed and that the use of media devices has
become essential to many people's daily lives and indeed the
impulse to use technology is harder to resist than unwanted urges
for eating, alcohol or sex. This book seeks to portray the see-saw
like relationship that we have with technology and how that
relationship impacts upon our lived lives. Drawing on a range of
theoretical perspectives that cross traditional subject boundaries
we examine the ways in which we both react to and are, to an
extent, shaped by the technologies we interact with and how we
construct the relationships with others that we facilitate via the
use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) be it as
discreet online only relationships or the blending of ICTs enabled
communication with real life co present interactions.
