New Horizons and Contested Futures

Technology, Society and Inequality

Judith Burnett

This book questions whether technologies are the rational, tangible, scientific, forward-thinking, neutral objects they are so often perceived to be, exploring instead how powerful, mythic ideas about technologies drive our social understanding and our expectations of them. Against a rising tide of information, we encounter significant technological, scientific, and medical advances which promise to create an educated, humane, and equal world. This book explores that promise, deconstructing technologies to conclude that though they do afford us significant and empowering advances, they remain largely cloaked in mystery, and often promise more than they can deliver. Contributors from diverse intellectual backgrounds and political and epistemological stances - spanning sociology and psychosocial investigations, innovation studies, and scientists - combine philosophical inquiry and empirical case studies to create a book which is at once provocative, innovative, and exciting in the challenges it poses.

Innovation and Inequality

The Myths of Technology

Life is full of highs and lows and as our children grow up you can't always be there to help them navigate their emotions or situations. This book tells parents, in very practical terms, what you can do from birth to twelve to ensure your children have their best chance at coping with life. We are so intensely involved in keeping our children happy in the present that we don't consider what this means for their emotional state in the future. Teens and young adults are especially vulnerable to peer pressure and mental health issues, but you can give your children the tools to prepare them for independent, safe, happy teenage years and beyond. Learn how important it is to establish boundaries, discipline and good role models so that children can develop the necessary qualities to deal with whatever comes their way. It's all about guiding your children to: make good decisions forge good relationships respect other people have good communication skills develop self-discipline and motivation and develop resilience and emotional intelligence. With these essential life skills in their toolbox, your children will grow up to be just fine!
