Only one generation in history (ours) will experience life both with and without the internet. For everyone who follows us,…
online life will simply be the air they breathe. Today, we revel in ubiquitous information and constant connection, rarely stopping to consider the implications for our logged-on lives. The author chronicles this massive shift, exploring what we've gained and lost in the bargain. He argues that our greatest loss has been that of absence itself -- of silence, wonder and solitude. Winner of the 2014 Governor General’s Award for Non-fiction. 2014.By David Shipley, Will Schwalbe. 2007

Ce que les experts ont baptisé le Web social, ou Web 2.0, reste cependant une grande nébuleuse, difficile à appréhender dans son ensemble car constamment en évolution. Cette nébuleuse constitue parfois une source dangoisse pour les parents, qui redoutent que leur progéniture y fasse de mauvaises rencontres, ou y passe trop de temps. Lémergence de ce Web social saccompagne de nouvelles pratiques, tant dans le domaine privé que public, qui bouleversent notre rapport à la vie privée, aux relations sociales, au temps. Cet ouvrage propose dexpliquer de manière facile, accessible même aux parents les plus réfractaires aux souris, ces nouveaux usages, au travers de témoignages et danalyses, afin que la famille numérique qui sannonce puisse exploiter pleinement les possibilités offertes par ces nouveaux médias, en toute connaissance de cause.

à l'appui, les services d'espionnage ou, plus simplement, les organismes divers et variés qui, même s'ils n'opèrent pas pour la sécurité d'État peuvent se renseigner sur vous grâce à votre carte bancaire, votre email, votre courrier postal...

"Qui n'a un jour rêvé de profiter des avantages de la solitude tout en disposant à tout moment d'un important…
réseau d'amis ? Aujourd'hui, avec Internet, ce rêve est devenu réalité, et des sites comme MySpace ou Facebook bouleversent les codes relationnels et les manières d'être ensemble. Beaucoup de nos contemporains se séduisent et se séparent dans des univers aux noms paradisiaques tels que Meetic ou Second life. Quant à la famille, elle compte désormais moins pour certains adolescents que leur réseau d'amis virtuels. Serge Tisseron, psychiatre et psychanalyste, analyse les bouleversements qui en résultent : le désir, le rapport à soi et aux autres, la perception du réel ne sont plus les mêmes, et la rencontre concrète cesse de plus en plus d'être la référence de la relation. Mais le recours grandissant au virtuel comme remède contre le stress, la dépression ou la solitude n'est pas sans danger. Afin de lutter contre les mirages des écrans, de nouveaux repères sont à inventer, centrés sur la revalorisation du corps et des sens et sur le goût du jeu". -- 4e de couv.By Dominique Maniez. 2008

Lorsque vous téléchargez illégalement une oeuvre protégée par le droit d'auteur, savez-vous qu'il s'agit d'un vol ? Peut-on faire confiance à Wikipedia ? Nos enfants collégiens ou lycéens recourent-ils massivement au copier-coller ? Est-ce ainsi que nous leur apprendrons à penser par eux-mêmes ? Avez-vous vraiment envie d'une société où tout le monde peut s'exprimer tout le temps sur tous les sujets ? À vous de réfléchir..." -- 4e de couv.A craft book that also includes a brief history of trash that shows how the invention of disposable products and…

The Internet has been hailed as a place where all can be heard and everyone can participate equally. But how…
true is this claim? In a seminal dismantling of techno-utopian visions, the author argues that for all that we "tweet" and "like" and "share," the Internet in fact reflects and amplifies real-world inequities at least as much as it ameliorates them. Online, just as off-line, attention and influence largely accrue to those who already have plenty of both. What we have seen in the virtual world so far has been not a revolution but merely a rearrangement. Although Silicon Valley tycoons have eclipsed Hollywood moguls, a handful of giants like Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook still dominate our lives. The new world order looks suspiciously just like the old one. 2014.By Eric Booth. 2009
