The short lifetime of digital technologies means that generational
identities are difficult to establish around any particular
technologies let alone around more far-reaching socio-technological
'revolutions'. Examining the consumption and use of digital
technologies throughout the stages of human development, this book
provides a valuable overview of ICT usage and generational
differences. It focuses on the fields of home, family and
consumption as key arenas where these processes are being enacted,
sometimes strengthening old distinctions, sometimes creating new
ones, always embodying an inherent restlessness that affects all
aspects and all stages of life. Combining a collection of
international perspectives from a range of fields, including social
gerontology, social policy, sociology, anthropology and gender
studies, Digital Technologies and Generational Identity weaves
empirical evidence with theoretical insights on the role of digital
technologies across the life course. It takes a unique
post-Mannheimian standpoint, arguing that each life stage can be
defined by attitudes towards, and experiences of, digital
technologies as these act as markers of generational differences
and identity. It will be of particular value to academics of social
policy and sociology with interests in the life course and human
development as well as those studying media and communication,
youth and childhood studies, and gerontology.
