520 |a "Humanity is at a crossroads. The explosion of technology and its exponential advancements are reshaping business as we know it as well as what it means to be human. As technology continues to expand, its incredible imprint on our lives continues to deepen. Algorithmic lifestyle has become one of the most powerful arbiters in our lives. They, the technologies, make decisions about the news we read, who we vote for, the jobs we get, the people we meet, and the ads we see. Along with the benefits and victories provided by new technologies come consequences that are alarmingly detrimental to society and to our planet. As more and more industries implement newer technologies for ease of use to the end user (or customer), it is those end users who are at greater risk of some pretty severe consequences. Attention spans diminish. Sympathy/Empathy become weakened. A wide range of behavioral issues can occur. And there are other potentially catastrophic side effects as technologies, designed to make our lives easier, fall into the hands of those who employ them simply for monetary gain with little or no thought OR regard for the consequences of using them without oversight or regulation. In this book, Christopher Ategeka will outline a number of the areas where technology poses a serious threat to individuals and to people as a whole. He will stress the need for businesses who both develop or who employ these technologies to do so with caution and to use them in a manner that does more good than harm."--  |c Provided by publisher.
