Technoculture: From Alphabet to Cybersex
Technoculture: From Alphabet to Cybersex

Exploring communication evolution from writing to digital.

If you find fascination in tracing the lineage of our communication methods or if cyber culture piques your interest, "Technoculture" might just be the book you're looking for. It's not just a historical journey but a contemplation on how we interact with technology. Since it stems from an academic course perspective, it offers a structured dive into these concepts, potentially enriching your understanding of the digital landscape.

Description

Technology was once thought of only in relation to machines, manufacturing or the military. Now it pervades every aspect of our lives. In Technoculture, Lelia Green focuses on the technologies of communication, from things we don't even think of as technology, like the alphabet or electricity, to the rapidly-developing world of cyberspace. She argues that technology is never neutral; rather, it is closely linked to culture, society, and government policy. Green looks at what drives technological change and demonstrates that the adoption of new technologies is never inevitable. She also explores how a variety of technology cultures coexist, including industrial culture, media culture, information culture, and now 'technoculture'. Some communities reap the benefits of technocultures, while others are bypassed or even damaged. Technoculture offers a broad and accessible introduction to the complex issues surrounding technology, communications, culture, and society for students and anyone else interested in making sense of one of the key issues of the twenty-first century.
