Book Review of Hamlet's Blackberry

in the last few decades we have witnessed an explosion tehnologije.Internet allows us to be connected with millions of other people and gives us access to endless amounts of information. Now with the invention of smart phones and other portable devices can be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a web developer and an avid Internet user, you can find these new technical advances extremely exciting. However, even I must admit that there can be a downside to this lot povezanosti.Internet gives us quick access to people, even those who are halfway around the world. It also keeps us within reach of any knowledge we learn. But recently I have noticed times when I feel all this electronic stimulation system can become overloaded in my heart. Instead of helping me become distraction.Rezultati our October survey question ( How many hours a day is usually implemented using electronic devices ?) lead me to believe that I am not the only one experiencing this problem. 68% of you said that electronic devices 5 or more hours a day. So when I heard William Powers to talk about his new book, " Hamlet BlackBerry: practical philosophy for building a good life in the digital age " in public radio, I thought it would be a good candidate for a book review on our website.

William Powers is very poetically presents a problem mostly occurs in this new "digital era". He explains that, because we are constantly linked with other human beings we have become much busier. He uses an analogy to describe the juggler how we all have a lot of tasks that have to keep going at one time. He also makes the argument that, even though our products have grown to be super fast, we actually become less efficient, due to the constant bombardment of e-mail and the lure of finding "what's happening right now," the news and social networking sites. It seems that although we have seen a rapid progress in the tools we as humans are used to help us live our lives, we did not quite understand the best way to use these tools.

is easy to believe that this is the first time that technological progress has to be "blown our minds," and left us reeling to adjust, but as William Powers says in the book, we went through this very dilemma over and over again through of human history. It seems silly to think that now is the simple act of writing down the words had similar effects on human society. However, when he first took the written language in ancient Greece thousands of years ago, that's exactly what happened. It was even naysayers predicted that it would be a failure of humanity. Hamlet BlackBerry allows you to gain perspective on our current difficulties and leads to a journey through the past. Powers offers the equivalent of the examples, although during the process of integrating new technologies. Looking at ancient Rome, medieval Europe, Shakespeare's England, and more, the authority allows us to discern the bigger picture and helps us make sense of what is happening today. At the end of William Powers also offers advice in the form of their own personal solutions through the connection. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to balance life with your electronics!
