Book Nook: The Internet Apocalypse

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. 

Technology has certainly changed our lives - to the point that some people can't even unplug from technology when they really need to. Peter Sacco recently wrote The Internet Apocalypse - a good read that helps us look at society's relationship with technology and what would happen if it suddenly disappeared.

It's an entertaining book, in a way a survival guide to existing with the internet that we come to know and love. What would happen without internet and texting - and how has texting changed the way we communicate? How has the internet affected problem-solving skills? What are the issues of dependency surrounding the internet and texting? How has online bullying affected society?

The book was worth the time invested in it. It's a good way to re-examine our own tech use, and make sure that we do encourage our families to have the skills to communicate face-to-face, as well as appreciate other forms of communication and entertainment (like actual books and letters).
