Description
Constantly typing on Blackberries and iPhones, incessantly checking Facebook, frequently updating Twitter, and searching our DVRs for the most recent episodes of our favorite reality television shows–we may not realize it, but these actions are impacting our interpersonal relationships, our professional lives, the way we communicate, and the method by which our brains have begun to process information.
In Can’t Stop, MTV News correspondent and blogger Kim Stolz explores how dating, working, communication, politics, friendships, sexuality, the music and entertainment industries, our perceptions of fame and our own egos–in short, everything–are being changed forever by the constant demands of social media and technology.
Stolz offers a firsthand account of the Millennials’ experience growing up alongside the rapid explosion of technology and social media. She relates personal anecdotes and weaves in evidence from pop culture and current events, as well as interviews with psychologists and anthropologists, for a 360-degree view. With tips and advice on how to deal with everything from privacy issues and safe sharing habits on Facebook, to how to truly unplug yourself from it all, this book is a thoughtful take on both understanding and surviving life in today’s tech-laden landscape.
