WIJFR: A Deadly Wandering: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption in the Age of Attention (ns)
I just finished a thought provoking book that examines our relationship with technology through the framework of a deadly texting and driving accident. Author Matt Richtel tells the story of Reggie Shaw who killed two rocket scientists in a car crash due to texting and driving. Richtel examines not only the inherent dangers of texting behind the wheel, but delves into our brain's ability to attend to two things at one time (in this case texting or using the phone and driving).
Richtel also looks at our relationship with technology and suggests that our need to check our phones/computers/Ipads/tablets can almost be considered addictive. This was a really fascinating read, and it really caused me to me examine my own relationship with technology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this particular field of study.
