"In this new collection of essays, David Shenk expands his enlightened skepticism to include thoughts on the dangers of online journalism, the ethical implications of digital photography, and the misguided hopes for computers in the classroom."--BOOK JACKET.

"Is Shenk just another neo-Luddite determined to bash all things digital? Hardly. This self-described technology enthusiast - and avid fan of the Internet - is simply interested in clear-eyed analysis of how machines we use actually affect our lives. As one of the founders of the Technorealism movement, he insists that new technologies must be appraised for their ability to achieve traditional human ends, rather than embraced merely for novelty's sake."--BOOK JACKET.
