SCREEN SOCIETY - ELLIS CASHMORE JAMIE CLELAND K...

Screens have been with us since the eighteenth century  though we became accustomed to staring
at them only after the appearance of film and television in the twentieth century. But there
was nothing in film or TV that prepared us for the revolution wrought by the combination of
screens and the internet. Society has been transformed and this book asks how and with what
consequences? Screen Society's conclusions are based on an original research project conducted
by scholars in the UK and Australia. The researchers designed their own research platform and
elicited the thoughts and opinions of nearly 2000 participants  to draw together insights of
today's society as seen by users of smartphones  tablets and computers - what the authors call
Screenagers. The book issues challenges to accepted wisdom on many of the so-called problems
associated with our persistent use of screen devices  including screen addiction  trolling 
gaming and gambling.
