Inhaltsangabe

In a world where our phones can be used for anything, from checking the weather to finding a drug store, we have found ourselves no longer able to live without our device. It is not more than centimetres, even millimetres, from us at all times. It is our connection to the world, our "live" wire, our go-to for immediate info.Our anxiety goes through the roof if we can't find it!
It's our crutch, and it's our addiction.Texting and messaging have become the new way to communicate, and although there are inherent advantages to relaying information this way, it has eliminated the need to have any in-person, face-to-face, physically present human interaction. As older adults, most of us have had the advantage of growing up without technology, or little of it. We had to develop our social skills and have actual physical interaction with others because we couldn't just text someone to have a conversation. Today, texting is the only way most of our youth are communicating, and social anxiety is through the roof!Here we are on a planet of over 8 billion humans and our human-to-human connection is dissolving. So how did we get here? Txting to Talking aims to look at the evolution of our addiction to our devices and the good, bad, and ugly of it all. With relevant research, interviews from individuals around the world from all walks of life, and end-of-chapter questions and "things to ponder," you'll be able to gain an insight as to your own device addiction and be able to help others.
