Un petit livre qui a l'immense mérite d'offrir une vue nuancée sur la question de notre relation au digital et son impact sur nos vies. Très loin des voix qui hurlent que le digital nous rend stupides, paresseux, ou qu'il ne sert à rien, ce livre offre une vision nuancée sans angélisme nous permettant de nous rendre compte de ce que le digital est au fond : un outil très puissant, duquel il ne faut pas oublier qu'il n'est jamais au fond qu'un outil. Et que nous sommes seuls responsables de son usage.
While this book-length essay provides us with how we get to the digital age and how information technology has reshapes us, I really feel that this book is severely outdated. I know, this book was published in 2011, but somehow it's already 20 years late compared to 2017. We now worry about fake news and Donald Trump, or about robots taking over our jobs. Yes, issues regarding isolation, copyright, and new political activism still hold today, but these kinds of discussions have been rendered obsolete by how fast our world is changing.
