THE DIGITAL MYSTIQUE takes a critical look at what digital media is doing to us—our lives and the world we live in—in permanent and powerful ways. It explores what that means for us as digital citizens, community builders, and family managers. Going way beyond the light side of digital media (eg, you can keep in touch with your friends!) this book demonstrates how digital media revolution is at the crux of our lives, not just supplemental. Given the right opportunities, the digital world can dramatically change lives for the better. This book acknowledges the potential costs of having our lives digitized, but also reveals the positive effects—how we learn, grow, and thrive by way of the Internet, social media and mobile devices.
