Jam-packed with examples, the book demonstrates how television aided viewers in confronting information overload, identity drift, the increasing pace of life, the guilt of feeling techno-illiterate, and cultural fragmentation.Ott, Brian L. is the author of 'Small Screen How Television Equips Us to Live in the Info Age', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405161558 and ISBN 1405161558.
