商品描述

Living in Digital Worlds investigates the relationship between human society and technology, as our private and particularly our public lives are increasingly undertaken in spaces that are inherently digital: digital public spaces.

The book unpicks why digital technology is such an inextricable part of modern society, first by examining the historical relationship between technological development and the early progression of human sociality. This is then followed by an examination of the ways in which modern life is currently being impacted by the expansion of digital information and devices into multiple aspects of our lives, including focuses on privacy, bias and ownership in digital spaces. Finally, it explores potential future developments and their implications, and proposes that it is crucial to consider the design of technology and systems in order to support a positive and beneficial direction of change.

Each chapter includes case studies, primarily drawn from The Creative Exchange, a fiveyear programme which ran from 2012 to 2016 to explore the notion of the digital public space through collaborative cross-sector research.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《生活在數位世界中》探討人類社會與科技之間的關係,因為我們的私人生活和尤其是公共生活越來越多地在本質上是數位的:數位公共空間。

本書首先通過考察技術發展與人類社會早期發展的歷史關係,解析為什麼數位技術如此不可分割地成為現代社會的一部分。接著,本書探討了現代生活如何受到數位資訊和設備在我們生活的多個方面擴展的影響,包括對數位空間中的隱私、偏見和所有權的關注。最後,本書探討了潛在的未來發展及其影響,並提出了考慮科技和系統設計以支持正面和有益變革方向的重要性。

每一章節都包含案例研究,主要來自「創意交流」計劃,該計劃是一個為期五年的跨部門合作研究計劃,從2012年到2016年探索了數位公共空間的概念。
