From digital citizenship to age-friendly cities and social media to AI, she challenges our thinking, drawing attention to a range of old and new technological developments that have already had societal impact or will do in the future."" Jeremy Porteus, FRSA, Chief Executive, Housing Learning and Improvement Network ""This book is a refreshing and timely review of digital technology's role in everyday life in various contexts. The volume explores new themes, issues, and fresh perspectives that will take on increasing significance in the near future, laying the groundwork for theoretical and methodological innovation in future research.""
