review 1: I ended up really enjoying this book that looks into the concept of privacy and the Internet. I have to admit that I went into the read already agreeing with the concept that there is a certain paranoia about privacy with regard to how we use the Internet and social media sites specifically.I think that Jarvis does a great job of looking and trying to define the terms privacy and publicness to identify whether we really are in danger (as long as we act responsibly) on the Internet. He also touches on the history of communication and how, since the time of the Gutenberg Bible, people have thought that great leaps in communication technology have meant the downfall of mankind and danger for individuals.Jarvis points out that it is possible to overshare with your friends, b... moreut highlights that is usually an annoyance rather than endangering. He uses great examples from his own experiences online, both personally and professionally as a researcher and reporter. The book is extremely well research with data, quotes and statistics from resources to help support his argument. I really love the concept of social media being safe because everyone is open and willing to share, thus cancelling out the danger.This is definitely not a book for everyone, but I was glad that I read it.
review 2: I do like to read the technological optimists. My main critique of the book is not that it didn't flood me with ideas and inspire me to explore the digital sharing realm more -- it did that. No, the problem was the book felt organized around those same sharing principles. I would have liked more organizational structure imposed by the author -- isn't that the point of the book or whatever it is we call the authorial voice compiled in one digital file?In the end, the book felt like lots of great ideas, lots of excitement over new technology, lots of avenues to explore (and I completely enjoyed doing all that), but when I was finished, I was left with a familiar feeling. I felt the same as after 3 hours of reading news on line -- that was fun, great, entertaining -- and what was that again? less
