Imagine if a student spent as much time managing information as celebrities doted on dieting? While eating too much food may be the basis of a moral panic about obesity, excessive information is rarely discussed as a crisis of a similar scale. Obviously, plentiful and high quality food is not a problem if eating is balanced with exercise. But without the skills of media and information literacy, students and citizens wade through low quality online information that fills their day yet does not enable intellectual challenge, imagination and questioning. Digital Dieting: From Information Obesity to Intellectual Fitness probes the social, political and academic difficulties in managing large quantities of low quality information. But this book does not diagnose a crisis. Instead, Digital Dieting provides strategies to develop intellectual fitness that sorts the important from the irrelevant and the remarkable from the banal. In April 2010, and for the first time, Facebook received more independent visitors than Google. Increasingly there is a desire to share rather than search. But what is the impact of such a change on higher education? If students complain that the reading is ’too hard’, then one response is to make it easier. If students complain that assignments are too difficult, then one way to manage this challenge is to make the assignments simpler. Both are passive responses that damage the calibre of education and universities in the long term. Digital Dieting: From Information Obesity to Intellectual Fitness provides active, conscious, careful and applicable strategies to move students and citizens from searching to researching, sharing to thinking, and shopping to reading.

With processed foods that are high in fat readily available these days, it seems like many individuals have found themselves ballooning. As a matter of fact, the percentage of people suffering from obesity has been on the rise in recent years. While some of these people are nonchalant about the need to lose weight, others have found themselves seeking products for weight loss. There are various reasons why individuals desire to lose weight, one of which would be due to concern for their health. Due to various health scares and reports in newspapers, people are now more aware that being obese can actually be bad for their bodies. As such, they may want to shed excess pounds before they have experience health problems and it is too late. The market for such products and services has grown, with weight loss aids such as slimming programs, slimming supplements, and pills that are supposed to restrict your body’s intake of carbohydrates claiming to be able to help consumers attain their dream weight.

With the numerous options we have today, some people are now beginning to think that there are fast and quick ways to lose weight. However, this may not necessarily be good for your body. There are many who have chosen to stick to the more traditional methods of losing weight – to diet and to exercise. However, when it comes to dieting, there are so many choices you can choose from that you may find yourself confused as to which diet program will be best for you. You may even wonder if diet programs are effective in helping you lose weight. If these are some of the questions that you already have on your mind, then don’t worry!

Step 2//Re: Boot: Take stock of your digital intake using Sieberg's Virtual Weight Index and step back from the device. Step 3//Re: Connect: Focus on restoring the relationships that have been harmed by the technology in your life. Step 4//Re: Vitalize: Learn how to live with technology-the healthy way, by optimizing your time spent e-mailing, texting, on Facebook, and web surfing.

The internet has transformed the world we live in, but it also poses new risks to our psychological well-being. This book provides an introduction to the issue of internet addiction, an increasingly common problem. All day, every day, we are connected to the internet, putting most people at some level of risk for internet addiction. Problematic internet use can take many forms, including overuse of social media and addictions to online shopping, gaming, or pornography. Such behaviors can cause anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation, loneliness, and physical health problems. People can lose their jobs and families, and in a few extreme cases, internet addiction has directly led to the death of the addicted individual or a child in their care. Internet Addiction is the latest volume in Greenwood's Health and Medical Issues Today series. Part I explores what internet addiction is, the many forms it can take, and the serious consequences it can have. Part II examines a number of controversies and issues, such as balancing the internet's benefits against its addictive nature. Part III provides a variety of useful materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, and a directory of resources.

Internet-based technologies prevail in most of the world. Along with the positive features of digital technologies that permeate our lives in almost every area, including lifestyles and daily practices, the traces of negative aspects have also become evident. Digital addiction is among the most important of these aspects. It is obvious that communication, which has been maintained in various forms since the beginning of humanity, has been shaped by the period in which it is lived. The technology-based transformation has transformed communication, which has been adopted to the "internet" in the world, into a completely different form. Communication, which has become sustainable at any time and anywhere, regardless of location, led by the never-ending elements of "continuity" and "interaction," has turned into an indispensable form. Perspectives on Society and Technology Addiction examines every subject of digital addiction in an interdisciplinary way. It discusses the issues about what technology addiction is, how to deal with this addiction, how to use the existing technology in a positive way, how to deal with this technology for disadvantaged groups, and concerns in the fields of social science and communication science. Covering topics such as Consumer 5.0, experience design, and information markets, this premier reference source is an essential resource for sociologists, policymakers, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

Step Into a Brighter Future for Our Children: Navigating the Digital Landscape In a world increasingly dominated by screens, how do we safeguard the innocence of childhood and the mental well-being of our next generation? "Rewired: Reclaiming Childhood in a Screen-Dominated World" embarks on a critical journey, examining the profound impact of technology on our children and offering a beacon of hope for parents and educators. From the mesmerizing grip of smartphones to the vast universe of social media, the digital age presents a unique set of challenges that parents of past generations never encountered. The book meticulously dissects the Digital Dilemma, shedding light on the psychological effects of screen time and its alteration of the childhood experience. Yet, amidst the digital chaos, there lies a path to reclaiming a balanced, healthier life for our children. The essence of mental health in the digital realm is unraveled in comprehensive chapters that delve into the correlations between digital consumption and the mental well-being of children. The narrative compellingly draws connections between the rise in anxiety and depression with the digital world's excesses, advocating for "Screen Time vs. Green Time" and the critical need to strike a harmonious balance. As the social fabric continues to unravel, the decline in face-to-face interactions has become glaringly apparent. This book doesn't just highlight problems; it equips you with strategies and tangible actions. Learn how to navigate the virtual playground, setting healthy boundaries through a family media use plan, and fostering sociability and real-life connections that bridge generations. Digital Detox: Theory and Practice emerges as a vital chapter, offering insights and evidence on the benefits of unplugging, while the later sections of the book inspire innovation beyond consumption and detail how to cultivate a supportive community for change. The journey concludes with actionable steps for parents and educators, providing resources and tangible advice for nurturing healthy digital habits. Prepare to be empowered as you embark on this crucial quest to balance technology and traditional childhood experiences. This book isn't just a guide; it's a movement toward a brighter, more balanced future for our children in the digital and AI age.

A guide to everything you need to understand to navigate a world increasingly governed by data. Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In this book, Critical Data Literacies, Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. The authors challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. Drawing on emerging areas of scholarship such as data justice, data feminism, and other critical data studies approaches, they explore how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data critically and creatively. Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters, the book introduces readers to the main components of critical data literacies—from the fundamentals of identifying and understanding data to the complexities of engaging with more combative data tactics. Critical Data Literacies explores how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation. Bringing together cutting-edge thinking and discussion from across education, sociology, psychology, and media and communication studies, Critical Data Literacies develops a powerful argument for collectively rethinking the role that data plays in our everyday lives and re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere.
