Description
<p><b>Our increasing reliance on digital technology has had a profound impact on our own abilities as humans. What can we do about it?</b><br><br>In a fascinating journey through history and science, <i>Human Being</i> offers an insightful and provocative survey of <b>twelve vital skills </b>we used to call upon as a species – from <b>navigation</b>, <b>conversation</b> and memory to craft, <b>solitude</b> and <b>sleep</b> – and how we can work to reclaim them.<br><br>As rapidly advancing technology embeds itself ever deeper within our lives, we rely less and less on our own capabilities. The impact on our skills and self-reliance has been immense, and, because the transition has happened so swiftly and quietly, none of us have been taught how to address the effects of our ever-increasing dependence on algorithms and artificial intelligence.<br> <b><br>Based on years of research</b> by author Graham Lee, a digital skills educator with experience training tens of thousands of professionals, each chapter in <i>Human Being</i> highlights an example of when these key capabilities were at their peak, demonstrates how in a vanishingly short space of time we have embraced ways to undermine them, and provides clear, <b>achievable guidance</b> on how we can reverse these losses and <b>regain our essential, human qualities</b>.<br><br>At once a <b>celebration of human history</b> and a <b>timely call to action</b>, <i>Human Being</i> empowers readers to build better habits around – and away from – technology, and reminds us just how extraordinary human achievement can be.</p>
