Brian Michael Gaps: TECHNOLOGY IS GREEK TO ME Volume I, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The storybook Technology Is Greek To Me Volume I: Understanding Social Media and Other Popular Website Services enlists fictional origin stories to explain the nature and behavior of modern social media and tech platforms. Familiar characters of Greek mythology have returned and allied with new deities to bring clarity to the modern world. These stories offer a new way to frame technology, not through jargon, but through myth, metaphor, and meaning. By examining technology in this way, we can explore the practices and challenges of social media use from a safe distance, without judgement.

This new kind of storybook includes 36 vivid, story-enriching scenes that bring each tale to life. Illustrations and stories work together to reveal the human habits and motivations behind today's technology.

Take this fun journey with others. Discover the gods, demigods, tricksters, and corrupted beings behind: Facebook, Instagram, X, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, and Yelp. Parents and educators have a new entry point for important conversations about social media use. Those exploring digital wellness can focus on intentions and best practices. There is no turning back as technology is here to stay. The best approach is to approach it with informed understanding.

When combined with the Student Workbook, these books provide a comprehensive roadmap to using technology with clarity.
