Chapter Chapter 5 in Common Sense, 2013, pp 59-79 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Technology now allows us to have the entire world's knowledge literally in the palm of our hands. We can communicate anywhere in the world in an instant. We can attend great universities, concerts, churches, or symposiums without leaving our sofa. So what do we use this amazing resource for? Primarily broadcasting funny stories, tweeting aboutLindsey Lohan's latest exploits, and e-mailing pictures of our cat.
