From Randi Zuckerberg, social media and technology expert
and former marketing executive at Facebook, comes a welcome,
essential guide to understanding social media and technology
and how they influence and inform our lives online and off. Technology and social media have changed, enhanced, and
complicated every facet of our lives—from how we interact
with our friends to how we elect presidents, from how we
manage our careers to how we support important causes, from
how we find love to how we raise our children. The technology revolution is not going away. We can't hide
from it or pretend that it's not changing our lives in a
thousand different ways. So how do we deal? In Dot
Complicated, Randi Zuckerberg shows us. Through first hand
accounts of her time at Facebook and beyond, where
Zuckerberg witnessed this remarkable shift, she details the
opportunities and obstacles, problems and solutions, to this
new online reality. In the process, she establishes rules to
bring some much-needed order and clarity to our connected,
complicated, and constantly changing lives online. "The
Internet, social networks, and smartphones," Zuckerberg
writes, "have given us amazing new tools and ways of
communicating, collaborating, and living with one another.
We can use new technology to understand and solve some very
old challenges that individuals and communities around the
world have faced since long before Facebook, or anything
like it, existed." Invaluable, timely, and engaging, Dot Complicated reveals
how to make it through your life online in one piece—from
the etiquette of unfriending and the power of crowdsourcing
to the perils of photo tags and the importance of teaching
your kids how to be tech savvy.
