Tech panic : why we shouldn't fear Facebook and the future / Robby Soave. by Soave, Robby. Threshold Editions, 2021. Call #: 302.30285 S676t Subjects Facebook (Electronic resource)   Social media -- Psychological aspects.   Computer anxiety.   Technology and state.   United States -- Politics and government -- 2017-2021. ISBN:  9781982159597 (hc.) Alternate title:  Why we shouldn't fear Facebook and the future Description:  244 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Not so long ago, we embraced social media as a life-changing opportunity to connect with friends and family all across the globe. Today, the pendulum of public opinion is swinging in the opposite direction as Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and similar sites are being accused of corrupting our democracy, spreading disinformation, and fanning the flames of hatred. We once marveled at the revolutionary convenience of ordering items online and having them show up on our doorsteps, sometimes overnight. Now we fret about Amazon outsourcing our jobs overseas, or building robots to do them for us. Here, with insightful analysis and in-depth research, Robby Soave explores some of the biggest issues animating both the right and the left: bias, censorship, disinformation, privacy, screen addiction, crime, and more. Far from polemical, 'Tech Panic' is grounded in interviews with insiders at companies like Facebook and Twitter, as well as expert analysis by both tech boosters and skeptics -- from Mark Zuckerberg to Josh Hawley. Readers will learn not just about the consequences of Big Tech, but also the consequences of altering the ecosystem that allowed tech to get big. Offering a fresh and crucial perspective on one of the biggest influences of the 21st century, Robby Soave seeks to stand athwart history and yell, Wait, are we sure we really want to do this?
