Digital Communication and How It's Changing Our World

Many would argue that our advanced technology is a defining feature of our modern world. Not only has it been instrumental in expanding our understanding of the world around us through extensive scientific and historical discoveries, but on a more personal level, technology has drastically shifted the way in which we communicate. Digital Communication and How It's Changing Our World examines this shift for humanity, beginning with the history of communication and the digital revolution, and ending with how this new form of communication will impact our future as a society. Along the way, the positive and negative impacts of digital communication and social media on the job market, popular culture, our interpersonal interactions, and our individual and collective worldviews will be explored. This discussion would be incomplete without special attention paid to how capitalism has benefited through digital communication, and the dangers and scandals that have ensued as a result. Digital Communication and How It's Changing Our World is an in-depth examination that seeks to educate the general reader on the history and current impact of digital communication on our world.
