Time for change

Alison Maitland and Peter Thomson

Chapter Chapter 1 in Future Work, 2014, pp 1-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We are living in a time of exponential technological change. All around us there is evidence of digital breakthroughs. Whether it’s an octogenarian ordering groceries online, a celebrity encouraging a mass protest through Twitter, or a young man reconstructing his past through Facebook after illness wiped out his memory,2 the Web and its applications have rapidly and fundamentally altered our lives. They are having a profound effect on the way we communicate, learn and socialize. You may well be reading this book electronically on a Kindle, iPad or other e-reading device.
