Privacy has always been a major concern for young people, and with the rise of laptops, tablets, and smartphones, it is much easier for them to hide what they’re doing from adults. However, there are still ways for parents, teachers, and even the government to see what young people are doing online. Is this ethical? Is it necessary? These questions and more are posed as readers explore the complex issue of privacy in the digital age. Balanced main text, informative fact boxes, and visual elements such as photographs and graphic organizers give readers a comprehensive understanding of this topical issue.

The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
Author: Nicholas Carr
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393079368
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction: “Nicholas Carr has written a Silent Spring for the literary mind.”—Michael Agger, Slate “Is Google making us stupid?” When Nicholas Carr posed that question, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story, he tapped into a well of anxiety about how the Internet is changing us. He also crystallized one of the most important debates of our time: As we enjoy the Net’s bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Now, Carr expands his argument into the most compelling exploration of the Internet’s intellectual and cultural consequences yet published. As he describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by “tools of the mind”—from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computer—Carr interweaves a fascinating account of recent discoveries in neuroscience by such pioneers as Michael Merzenich and Eric Kandel. Our brains, the historical and scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. The technologies we use to find, store, and share information can literally reroute our neural pathways. Building on the insights of thinkers from Plato to McLuhan, Carr makes a convincing case that every information technology carries an intellectual ethic—a set of assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence. He explains how the printed book served to focus our attention, promoting deep and creative thought. In stark contrast, the Internet encourages the rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources. Its ethic is that of the industrialist, an ethic of speed and efficiency, of optimized production and consumption—and now the Net is remaking us in its own image. We are becoming ever more adept at scanning and skimming, but what we are losing is our capacity for concentration, contemplation, and reflection. Part intellectual history, part popular science, and part cultural criticism, The Shallows sparkles with memorable vignettes—Friedrich Nietzsche wrestling with a typewriter, Sigmund Freud dissecting the brains of sea creatures, Nathaniel Hawthorne contemplating the thunderous approach of a steam locomotive—even as it plumbs profound questions about the state of our modern psyche. This is a book that will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

Everything You and Your Teachers Need to Know About the Learning Brain
Author: Sabine Peters
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889660265
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Children go to school to learn, and learning takes place in the brain. In the age period of formal schooling, a child’s brain is still undergoing major developmental changes. For these reasons, neuroscience (the study of the brain) and education are closely connected. Learning is possible because the brain is plastic: plasticity refers to the capacity of the brain to reorganize its structure and thereby change function and behavior. But what exactly changes in the brain when we learn something new? What are optimal conditions for the brain to learn? Why do we also forget things? What developmental changes occur in the brain during childhood and adolescence, and how are these processes different or similar to the neural mechanisms of learning and memory? Neuro-imaging research, or ‘brain scanning’, has accelerated our current understanding of brain development, learning, memory and other school-related skills such as reading and math but also creativity, metacognition and learning-related emotions and anxieties. But what do these brain scanning techniques actually measure? What kind of questions can we address with neuro-imaging, and what are the limitations? In this Collection, we will provide an accessible overview of the current state-of-the-art insights into the mechanisms of brain development, learning and memory. The collection will help children understand how their brains learn and develop, and how these processes are shaped by their environment and their own efforts. Moreover, we will discuss why it is important that their teachers and other educational practitioners know about the brain and neuroscience methods. Finally, we will also explain what happens if wrong ideas about the brain circulate, or the correct knowledge is misinterpreted. Neuromyths such as ‘we only use 10 percent of our brain’ are persistent, but important to counter with explaining why they are false, and what is true instead.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Canada’s #1 bestselling retirement income book is now completely revised and updated. Vettese will show you how to mitigate risk and secure your financial future in these unpredictable times. As COVID-19 rocks the economy in an unprecedented black swan event, retirees and those who are preparing to retire need answers to pressing questions about their financial futures. Originally published in 2018, the second edition of Retirement Income for Life, has been completely revised and updated, and now includes: New chapters on early retirement, retiring single, what to do when one spouse dies young, and more. Three strategies for mitigating your personal financial risk in the current downturn in equities and other investment products. Advice on how to plan for (and even benefit from) the coming bear market, resulting from COVID-19, which will create unprecedented equity buying opportunities, possibly as early as 2021. Information on the impact of unbearably low interest rates on annuities and fixed income investments and what to do if you hold them. The reasons retirees should be deferring CPP until age 70 and why the case for this is stronger than ever. Author Frederick Vettese demystifies a complex and often frightening subject and provides practical, actionable advice based on five enhancements the reader can make to mitigate risk and secure their financial future. With over one thousand Canadians turning 65 every day, the cultivation of good decumulation practices — the way in which you draw down assets in retirement, ideally to have a secure income for the rest of your life — has become an urgent matter that no one can afford to ignore.

Big Money With Your Book ...Without Selling A Single Copy!
Author: Trevor Crane
Publisher: Epic Author Publishing
ISBN: 1947276093
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Let’s begin this with total transparency. Most people don’t make a lot of money with their book. The average self-published author makes less than $100 per year. The average U.S. nonfiction book is now selling less than 250 copies per year and less than 2,000 copies over its lifetime. Very few titles are big sellers. Only 62 of 1,000 business books released in 2009 sold more than 5,000 copies, according to an analysis by the Codex Group (New York Times, March 31, 2010). A book has far less than a 1% chance of being stocked in an average bookstore. There are thousands of titles competing for that limited shelf space. What if your book becomes a bestseller? Most people think, that once that happens, your book will take off. Then you’ll be in-demand for interviews, and everyone will just magically just come buy your stuff, and you’ll be famous… right? Wrong. “If you build it, they will come.” Only worked for Kevin Costner in the Field Of Dreams. (And “Shoeless Joe Jackson” is probably not your target audience.) The TRUTH is: You need to have a system in place (i.e. products and services, or a business) to monetize your book. What happens if you don’t? Well… not much. And that’s the problem. Inside this book, you will learn 4 specific strategies, THAT YOU CAN USE, to make 6-7 figures with your book. Yeah, and you can do them WITHOUT selling a single copy of your book. Inside this book, you’ll learn the BIG SECRETS from interviews with authors who are using these strategies RIGHT NOW… to grow a massive INCOME, and make a difference. Your book could, and should become one of your most powerful marketing tools. Get it now, and learn how you can start making money with your book today. *BONUS: You’ll actually discover many more than 4 strategies for you to make money with your book. But “Shhhhhh… don’t tell anybody." MORE in this book: If you know you have a book or books inside you, here you will learn not only how to get that message and those ideas into the right book and get it published, but more importantly how to Turn it into your most powerful marketing tool. If you have doubts or question that you have, ‘what it takes’ to write a book and find the idea of writing one daunting, this book will replace your doubts and questions with practical advice and motivation. Whether you want to make it hit BESTSELLER lists, or just “sell more" of your products or services, this book will help give you a competitive advantage, that makes it easier to do so. INSIDE: • WHY having a book is your best marketing tool • HOW to build authority and credibility with a book • STEP-BY-STEP how to turn your book into your ultimate 'Lead Generation Tool' • NINJA strategies to use your book to bypass gatekeepers, and get it into the hands of your ‘Ideal Client’ • MEDIA secrets for authors that gets you tons of Free Publicity • HOW to use your book to get more profitable Speaking Engagements • And so much more... WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT: • This book is NOT a formula to “get rich quick” • This book is NOT going to magically make you successful • This book is NOT for people who are not willing to “do the work” This book WILL show you a simple path that you can follow. But it will take your hard work, and follow-through to make it happen. You can do it. And this book will help you. But it will not do it for you.
