| Summary | Annotation In the spirit of Alvin Toffler's acclaimed works peering into the future of the technological society, 'Communication Shock' is a concise history of communication technologies and an exploration of the possible social and human impacts of nanotechnology on the ecology of human communication. As we become increasingly more networked with communication technologies, we must come to understand and confront the social impact of these changes. More importantly, we must wisely choose in embracing or rejecting these technologies and exploring how we might do both by striking an appropriate balance. Grounded in communication theory and praxis, 'Communication Shock' brings some objectivity to the discussion of technology, maps its development, and encourages a rational conversation about its potential problems and promise. |
