The Smartphone ParadoxOur Ruinous Dependency in the Device Age /[electronic resource] :by Alan J. Reid. - 1st ed. 2018. - VII, 262 p. 7 illus., 3 illus. in color.online resource.

1. Introduction -- 2. A Brief History of the Smartphone -- 3. Habit-Making Devices -- 4. Use. Gratify. Repeat -- 5. Outsourcing Memory -- 6. Digital Socialites -- 7. Going Dark -- 8. Conclusion.

The Smartphone Paradox is a critical examination of our everyday mobile technologies and the effects that they have on our thoughts and behaviors. Alan J. Reid presents a comprehensive view of smartphones: the research behind the uses and gratifications of smartphones, the obstacles they present, the opportunities they afford, and how everyone can achieve a healthy, technological balance. It includes interviews with smartphone users from a variety of backgrounds, and translates scholarly research into a conversational tone, making it easy to understand a synthesis of key findings and conclusions from a heavily-researched domain. All in all, through the lens of smartphone dependency, the book makes the argument for digital mindfulness in a device age that threatens our privacy, sociability, attention, and cognitive abilities.
