Technology and Society: A Bridge to the 21st Century by Linda S. Hjorth, X
Over time, the term "technology" has taken on the meaning of such things as swapping the plow horse for the tractor, the typewriter for the computer, and physical labor for automation. Technology has had the perceived effect of making life easier, with more leisure and less labor. Is that perception correct, or is it an illusion? Are we working harder because technology has freed us to do other things? Has technology enslaved us by making us dependent upon it rather than upon our own common sense? These are tough questions with complicated answers that may never be satisfactorily resolved, and it seems that with every technological development there is some backlash about what has been lost while society celebrates the gains. In this second edition of "Technology and Society: A Bridge to the 21st Century," the authors address the many critical questions and issues associated with technology and its profound impact on the individual and society. The text maintains an objective and informative viewpoint throughout, while discussing highly controversial issues ranging from organ transplant and tissue engineering to earth preservation and warfare technology. In every case, readers will be both enlightened and challenged to draw their own conclusions and to reach decisions about actions that should betaken. A free Instructor's Manual (ISBN 0-13-092476-8) is available to instructors.



American Society for Information Science and Technology - The American Society for Information Science and Technology (also referred to as ASIST or ASIS&T) is a professional organization of information professionals.

Society Online is not exclusively devoted to a particular technology, or specifically the Internet, but to a range of technologies and technological possibilities labeled "new media." Rather than trying to cover every possible topic relating to new communication technologies, this unique text is organized by how these new technologies mediate the community, political, economic, personal, and global spheres of our social lives. The editors argue that social scientists have devoted disproportionate attention to the technologies of the household and biological reproduction, which are topics that male-dominated social science has tended to ignore or trivialise -- though these are actually of crucial significance where powerful shaping factors are at work, normally unnoticed. Society Online: The Internet in Context examines how new media technologies have not simply diffused across society, but how they have rapidly and deeply become embedded in our organizations and institutions. Society Online is not exclusively devoted to a particular technology, or specifically the Internet, but to a range of technologies and technological possibilities labeled "new media." Editors Philip N. Howard and Steve Jones explore the multiple research methods that are required to understand the embeddedness of new media. They have drawn both on established work in the history and sociology of technology to society and different types of technology on society, and tended to ignore the more fundamental question of what shapes technology in the workplace. The first edition of this reader, published in 1985, had a considerable influence on thinking about the relationship between technology andsociety. Within the developed world, much of society experiences political, economic, personal, and global spheres of our social lives.
