Digital Inferno
Using Technology Consciously in Your Life and Work,
101 Ways to Survive and Thrive in a Hyperconnected World
How many times do you check something on the internet
but find you aredrifting aimlessly from one link to another?
If you can't not answer the phone when it rings,and you
spend hours a week on social media, and you read your
texts instead of kissing your loved one goodnight, and
you don't give your kids proper attention because you
just have to prioritize new responses to your tweet...
then this book is for you.
The digital world is spreading like an inferno - a swirling,
hot storm of change, possibility, addiction, passion,
manipulation, creativity and abuse. It demands our
attention and encourages us to be always on,
with its constant updates and feedback. It is exciting,
but it can also be overwhelming. And it's developing
faster than our ability to deal with it.
To adherents of digital living and working, any criticism
is uncool, a sign of being out of touch.
Refreshingly, Digital Inferno is neither simple indictment nor
inqualified endorsement. Rather, it's about holding your
own in the digital realm - adapting in a healthy way
to the new reality.
It offers a conscious path that allows you to derive the benefits
you need but also to manage the dangers. Packed with
a wealth of practical advice, Digital Inferno describes
numerous methods to enable you to step back from
constant digital activity and virtual living, and to
pay more attention to the real world.
You'll find exercises to overcome tiredness from digital contact
and to develop skills to enable you to remain awake and
aware. Crucially, you will be master of the digital realm:
to abstain from contact when you need to,but also freely to
immerse yourself when you choose to.
We don't need to shun new technology, but we do need to be
armed with an understanding of its challenges, problems and
limitations.
This book provides the tools you will need to meet the future
consciously.
