Digital planet : tomorrow's technology and you / George Beekman, Ben Beekman.

Previous ed.: 2009, entitled Tomorrow's technology and you.

Contains bibliographical references and index.

Changes in the technology and its impact on our lives have been particularly profound since the last edition of this book, Tomorrow's Technology and You, was published. Consequently, this latest edition is one of the most thorough revisions the authors have ever done. The new title reflects the planetary scope of the digital revolution and its impact on readers. The entire book has been rewritten to reflect the growing importance of mobile devices, alternative platforms, cloud computing, collaborative technologies, and the global information economy. We've expanded our future focus to encompass the latest technological trends. At the same time, we've looked in more depth at the impact of these new technologies on our brains, our thoughts, our productivity, our communities, and our planet.
