Two defense experts explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most important battles are now only a click away. Through the weaponization of social media, the Internet is changing war and politics, just as war and politics are changing the Internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, “Twitter wars” produce real world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of nations. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that plays out on our smartphones.

Everywhere we turn, a new device promises to transfigure our lives. But at what cost? In this urgent and revelatory excavation of our Information Age, leading technology thinker Adam Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the networked objects, services, and spaces that define us. It is time to re-evaluate the Silicon Valley consensus determining the future. We're told that innovations - from augmented - reality interfaces and virtual assistants to autonomous delivery drones and self-driving cars - will make life easier, more convenient, and more productive.

Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic?

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels - underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation - will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

Something is wrong. We all know it. American life expectancy is declining for a third straight year. Birth rates are dropping. Nearly half of us think the other political party isn’t just wrong; they’re evil. We’re the richest country in history, but we’ve never been more pessimistic. What’s causing the despair? In Them, bestselling author and U.S. senator Ben Sasse argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, our crisis isn’t really about politics. It’s that we’re so lonely we can’t see straight—and it bubbles out as anger. Local communities are collapsing.

Cohen shows how smart guys like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg fell in love with a radically individualistic ideal and then mainstreamed it. With these very rich men leading the way, unions, libraries, public schools, common courtesy, and even government itself have been pushed aside to make way for supposedly efficient market-based encounters via the Internet. Donald Trump's election victory was an inadvertent triumph of the "disruption" that Silicon Valley has been pushing. A society that belittles civility, empathy, and collaboration can easily be led astray.

La digitalizzazione sta da tempo interessando anche la sfera politica e gli sconvolgimenti che produce nel processo democratico e nelle nostre vite sono massicci, epocali. Storditi dalla frenesia della comunicazione a ciclo continuo, ci ritroviamo impotenti di fronte a un sistema che trasforma l'essere umano in una miniera di dati da estrarre. Il nostro modo di pensare e intervenire nel mondo, il nostro rapporto con la verità stanno inesorabilmente cambiando. Siamo apparentemente liberi, ma incapaci di discutere.

Terwijl in Oekraïne een loopgravenoorlog wordt uitgevochten met tanks, artillerie en lange-afstandswapens, ligt zonder dat we het doorhebben ook de rest van Europa onder vuur. Spionage, sabotage, aanslagen en cyberaanvallen: Rusland maakt zich er veelvuldig schuldig aan, maar ook China en andere staten roeren zich in deze strijd. Wat is het doel van hybride oorlogsvoering? Hoe gróót is de dreiging precies? En wat merken we van deze cyberoorlog, wat blijft er onder de radar? Als iemand dat weet, is het Huib Modderkolk. Als onderzoeksjournalist voor de Volkskrant begeeft hij zich al jaren ...

I started in the field of career counseling in 2000 until 2014. But when I left that field to become the Marketing Director of Mvoss Creation, I started merging my "Product Branding" to "Personal Branding". I did not want to impose some of these skills in giving advice but rather make it more personal by addressing my "counsels" or advice to my son who is now going into college. But then, as teenagers, they would rather listen to their high school counselor which I think is smarter and more appropriate as I am now "rusty" on that part of counseling. But as I continue to evolve in the broader ...
