Unexpected ways that individuals adapt technology to reclaim what matters to them, from working through conflict with smart lights to celebrating gender transition with selfies. We have been warned about the psychological perils of technology: distraction, difficulty empathizing, and loss of the ability (or desire) to carry on a conversation. But our devices and data are woven into our lives. We can't simply reject them. Instead, Margaret Morris argues, we need to adapt technology creatively to our needs and values. In Left to Our Own Devices, Morris offers examples of individuals applying technologies in unexpected ways—uses that go beyond those intended by developers and designers. Morris examines these kinds of personalized life hacks, chronicling the ways that people have adapted technology to strengthen social connection, enhance well-being, and affirm identity. Morris, a clinical psychologist and app creator, shows how people really use technology, drawing on interviews she has conducted as well as computer science and psychology research. She describes how a couple used smart lights to work through conflict; how a woman persuaded herself to eat healthier foods when her photographs of salads garnered “likes” on social media; how a trans woman celebrated her transition with selfies; and how, through augmented reality, a woman changed the way she saw her cancer and herself. These and the many other “off-label” adaptations described by Morris cast technology not just as a temptation that we struggle to resist but as a potential ally as we try to take care of ourselves and others. The stories Morris tells invite us to be more intentional and creative when left to our own devices.

“I love the way Dessa puts words together. In her songs, in her poetry, in her short stories, and now in this beautiful and candid memoir. Wanna be an artist? Get this book.” --Lin-Manuel Miranda "Dessa writes beautifully about a wide range of topics, including science, music, and the pain that comes with being in love; it's a surprising and generous memoir by a singular voice." --NPR, Best Books of 2018 Dessa defies category--she is an intellectual with an international rap career and an inhaler in her backpack; a creative writer fascinated by philosophy and behavioral science; and a funny, charismatic performer dogged by blue moods and heartache. She's ferocious on stage and endearingly neurotic in the tour van. Her stunning literary debut memoir stitches together poignant insights on love, science, and language--a demonstration of just how far the mind can travel while the body is on a six-hour ride to the next gig. In "The Fool That Bets Against Me," Dessa writes to Geico to request a commercial insurance policy for the broken heart that's helped her write so many sad songs. "A Ringing in the Ears" tells the story of her father building a wooden airplane in their backyard garage. In "'Congratulations,'" she describes the challenge of recording a song for The Hamilton Mixtape in a Minneapolis basement, straining for a high note and hoping for a break. "Call Off Your Ghost" chronicles the fascinating project she undertook with a team of neuroscientists to try to clinically excise romantic feelings for an old flame. Her writing is infused with scientific research, dry wit, a philosophical perspective, and an abiding tenderness for the people she tours with and the people she leaves behind to be on the road. My Own Devices is an uncompromising and candid account of a life in motion, in music, and in love. Dessa is as compelling on the page as she is onstage, making My Own Devices the debut of a unique and deft literary voice.

An examination of the ways that digital technologies play an increasingly important role in the lives of precarious workers, far beyond the gig economy apps like Uber and Lyft.Over the past three decades, digital technologies like smartphones and laptops have transformed the way we work in the US. At the same time, workers at both ends of the income ladder have experienced rising levels of job insecurity and anxiety about their economic futures. In Left to Our Own Devices, Julia Ticona explores the ways that workers use their digital technologies to navigate insecure and flexible labor markets. Through 100 interviews with high and low-wage precarious workers across the US, she explores the surprisingly similar "digital hustles" they use to find work and maintain a sense of dignity and identity. Ticona then reveals how the digital hustle ultimately reproduces inequalities between workers at either end of polarized labor markets. A moving and accessible look at the intimate consequences of contemporary capitalism, Left to Our Own Devices will be of interest to sociologists, communication and media studies scholars, as well as a general audience of readers interested in digital technologies, inequality, and the future of work in the US.

There no longer seems any point to criticizing the internet. We indulge in the latest doom-mongering about the evils of social media-on social media. We scroll through routine complaints about the deterioration of our attention spans. We resign ourselves to hating the internet even as we spend much of our waking lives with it. Yet our unthinking surrender to its effects-to the ways it recasts our aims and desires-is itself digital technology's most powerful achievement. A Web of Our Own Making examines how online practices are reshaping our lives outside our notice. Barba-Kay argues that digital technology is a 'natural technology'-a technology so intuitive as to conceal the extent to which it transforms our attention. He shows how and why this technology is reconfiguring knowledge, culture, politics, aesthetics, and theology. The digital revolution is primarily taking place not in Silicon Valley but within each of us.

Proliferation of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has instigated a widespread change, fast outpacing the security strategies deployed by organizations. The influx of these devices has created information security challenges within organizations, further exacerbated with employees’ inconsistent adherence with BYOD security policy. To prevent information security breaches, compliance with BYOD security policy and procedures is vital. This book aims to investigate the factors that determine employees' BYOD security policy compliance by using mixed methods approach. Security policy compliance factors, BYOD practices and security risks were identified following a systematic review approach. Building on Organizational Control Theory, Security Culture and Social Cognitive Theory, a research framework positing a set of plausible factors determining BYOD security policy compliance was developed. Next, with a purposive sample of eight information security experts from selected public sector organizations, interviews and BYOD risk assessments analysis were performed to furnish in-depth insights into BYOD risks, its impact on organizations and recommend control measures to overcome them. This led to the suggestion of four control measures to mitigate critical BYOD security risks such as Security Training and Awareness (SETA), policy, top management commitment and technical countermeasures. The control measures were mapped into the research framework to be tested in the following quantitative phase. The proposed research framework was tested using survey results from 346 employees of three Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) agencies. Using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), the framework's validity and reliability were evaluated, and hypotheses were tested. Findings show that perceived mandatoriness, self-efficacy and psychological ownership are influential in predicting employees’ BYOD security policy compliance. Specification of security policy is associated with perceived mandatoriness, while BYOD IT support and SETA are significant towards self-efficacy. Unexpectedly, security culture has been found to have no significant relationship to BYOD security policy compliance. Theoretical, practical, and methodological contributions were discussed and suggestions for future research were recommended. The analysis led to a number of insightful findings that contribute to the literature and the management, which are predominantly centered on traditional computing. In view of the ever-increasing BYOD threats to the security of government information, it is imperative that IT managers establish and implement effective policies to protect vital information assets. Consequently, the findings of this study may benefit policymakers, particularly in the public sector, in their efforts to increase BYOD security policy compliance among employees.
