Book excerpt: In less than a single generation digital technology has dramatically and permanently altered the ways in which humans connect and communicate with each other. Conversations and information transfers that once either weren't possible or took days to complete now occur in an instant. Technological advances are profoundly affecting humankind forcing us to change on multiple levels. Today's generation gap is totally different from previous generation gaps because of digital technology. While baby boomers may be looking to confirm their theory that indeed this younger generation is going "to hell in a handbasket" just like their parents claimed that "sex, drugs, and rock & roll" was ruining them, readers of both generations will make a surprising discovery. Join the authors as they guide readers on an enlightening exploration of how digital technology and the Internet have changed the way we communicate, relate, work, parent, and mate.
