Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Digital Revolution today is far more powerful than all other intellectual revolutions before it. We are currently being changed in fundamental ways that our own sense of identity is being rewritten. The difference between the physical world and the virtual world is fast disappearing. We live our lives behind pixelated screens, where endless images, both colorful and sophisticated, are constantly bombarding our consciousness. In a world saturated with information, it is much easier for us to interact with our devices than with each other. We can visit virtual worlds at the push of a button, purchase goods and services without ever leaving home, talk to someone without ever meeting them, and generally live in a reality removed from the physical world. We have created an age where social media has become an oppressive force that keeps us under Orwellian rule. We would like to believe that our infinite supply of information serves as an enlightening agent, however, it seems to have made us quite lazy. Rather than read, we skim for information. Our Googlized world seems to have created a false reality, with information becoming the new shadows of our time. Eric Wong was born in Hongkong, China. He traveled to the United States at a very young age to study abroad. The IB(International Baccalaureate) program inspired him to write on the similarities between Plato's enduring parable, the Allegory of the Cave, and the dire consequences that technology brings to society today.
