The digital age / by H.W. Wilson Company.(CARDINAL)142786;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-221) and index."Digital technology has transformed our lives so completely that we hardly recognize it and so quickly that we have yet to grasp its implications. No industry has been left untouched; every aspect of how we communicate and how and where we get our information has been affected. We are connected as never before. Even the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court has said that a cellphone can contain the "sum of an individual's private life"--surely a combination of the personal and the technological that is unique in history. Yet even as we gain greater and greater access to information, explore new avenues of creativity and new kinds of entertainment, and find new ways to express ourselves and integrate our social activities, we crave still more. Change is the only constant. How are we to make sense of this ever-shifting terrain--as we must, or be overwhelmed by it? The Digital Age challenges us to understand not only the great potential good offered by modern digital technology but its negative consequences: loss of privacy, erosion of face-to-face communication abilities, exposure to cybercrime, even such seemingly mundane consequences as the decline of handwriting among children. None of these issues is abstract; we need to know where digital technology is taking us."--Publisher information.

The new Arabs : how the millennial generation is changing the Middle East / by Cole, Juan Ricardo,author.(CARDINAL)524928;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Arab millennials -- The republican monarchs -- "Giants of meat and steel: I come to you from cyberspace!" -- The new Left -- From Bouazizi to Tahrir -- Tunisia: "Leave my creators alone!" -- Egypt: from April to rebellion -- Libya's youth rebels."The renowned blogger and Middle East expert Juan Cole illuminates the role of today's Arab youth--who they are, what they want, and how they will affect world politics. Beginning in January 2011, the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests, riots, and civil wars that comprised what many call "the Arab Spring" shook the world. These upheavals were spearheaded by youth movements, and yet the crucial role they played is relatively unknown. Middle East expert Juan Cole is here to share their stories. For three decades, Cole has sought to put the relationship of the West and the Muslim world in historical context. In The New Arabs he outlines the history that led to the dramatic changes in the region, and explores how a new generation of men and women are using innovative notions of personal rights to challenge the authoritarianism, corruption, and stagnation that had afflicted their societies. Not all big cohorts of teenagers and twenty-somethings necessarily produce movements centered on their identity as youth, with a generational set of organizations, symbols, and demands rooted at least partially in the distinctive problems besetting people of their age. The Arab Millennials did. And, in a provocative and optimistic argument about the future of the Arab world, The New Arabs shows just how they did it"--Provided by publisher.
