Summary
Summary
iDisorder: changes to your brain's ability to process information and your ability to relate to the world due to your daily use of media and technology, resulting in signs and symptoms of psychological disorders, such as stress, sleeplessness, and a compulsive need to check in with all of your technology. Based on decades of research and expertise in the "psychology of technology," Dr. Larry Rosen offers clear, down-to-earth explanations for why many of us are suffering from an "iDisorder." Rosen provides solid, proven strategies to help us overcome the iDisorder we all feel in our lives, while still making use of all that technology offers. Our world is not going to change, and technology will continue to penetrate society even deeper, leaving us little chance to react to the seemingly daily additions to our lives. Rosen teaches us how to stay human in an increasingly technological world.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Thoughtful, clearly written, and full of ideas and data you’ll want to throw into dinner-party conversation.” —New York Times
“Rosen’s ideas are thought-provoking, and the changes he suggests are realistic to implement. Very readable.” —Library Journal
“Rosen’s book, iDisorder, tells us how not to let too much of a good thing become a bad thing. Digital technologies are machines that can enhance or harm our minds. Rosen tells us how to keep our minds safe and sane.” —James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, Arizona State University
A clear warning against becoming someone who brings a smartphone to the dinner table. —Kirkus
