review 1: Unfortunately, this book was not what I thought it was going to be about--I think it's geared towards the older generation, which is fine, just not for me. I am not sure they had a very good editing team (page 119 drops off in the middle of a sentence) and the most recent research the authors use is from 2008. It was fun doing the inventory questions with Jacob and seeing how we stacked against each other and some of the scientific brain information was cool, but other than that, a waste of 10 bucks....blast! Perfect book to just borrow from the liberry!
review 2: This would be a useful book for seniors who are just learning how to use the internet--people the author refers to as "digital immigrants." This book contains lots of basic practical info about how... more to format email, use search engines effectively, etc. The author seems to approach his topic from an "us versus them" standpoint, contrasting digital immigrants like himself with the younger crowd ("digital natives"). He suggests that people who make use of the internet are more likely to be socially inept, incapable of real-life conversations and making eye contact. Two sections of this book are worth reading: (1) There's an interesting explanation of why email is addictive. (2) The short quizzes are supposedly a reliable indicator of one's mental health and ability to function in a healthy way with technology. less
