Book description
Electronic + Addicted (abnormally dependent on a habit) = edicted
(hooked on technology).
Technology can be a wonderful thing. It can also be a curse when it
overwhelms us. If your phone, computer or other devices are beginning
to rule your life, then you may be edicted.
We don't have to be ruled by our machines. It's time for us humans
to fight back. Revolution tells you how, with technology taming tips
and simple things that you can do to regain control. Take the test and
find out just how edicted you are - then learn how to cure yourself.
'I can't talk now, I'm on the phone'
For those of us suffering from ediction, it's time to pause and
think. Author and Plain English commentator Kevin Duncan has trained
and advised some of the UK's top companies, including Saatchi &
Saatchi and Shell, in how to cope with all this. This
thought-provoking book grapples with just how addicted we have become
to technology and offers a set of ideas to help wean us off our
technological drugs and lead a more fulfilling life. It looks briefly
at how we got here, tests you on how serious your condition is and
then offers real solutions, including rapid sequential tasking (v
multitasking), communicating concisely, using the best method of
communication for the job, all while retaining your sense of humour
and enthusiasm.
