This week, my friend Reuel Leach, who first published this report on Cellular Costs in South Africa, reviews a book sent to me a while ago. We both are avid users of technology and enjoy helping people get more from real life and the technology they use every day. I have a formal degree in Computer Science and worked in IT Security from 1997-2003, while Reuel is mostly a self-taught expert on mobile technologies.
Here, Reuel Leach Reviews Conquer CyberOverload book:
- Book Title: Conquer Cyber Overload
- Author: Joanne Cantor Ph.D
- ISBN 9780984256808
- Finished reading 29 June 2011
Joanne has addressed one of the almost incurable diseases of our time: addiction to technology, the very thing we thought would make life easier and save us time, has become a major burden and is affecting our mental and physical health. Joanne explains how the mind works and explains that multitasking is maybe not as good as we think it is.
She also explains how this cyber overload is affecting our relationships long-term. I believe we should all create a code of ethics or rules for ourselves, and she gives us useful guidelines to do so, to help create a more balanced individual and family. We need to educate both children and adults on this subject.
In fact, this should be a subject that should be included in the curriculum at school. I highly recommend this book. It’s short, concise and made for those who find themselves very busy and have little or no time to read. After all, time is the most valuable asset we have. Every second we waste of our lives is wasted forever.
