SMALL TECH: The Culture of Digital Tools Byron Hawk, David M. Rieder,
and Ollie Oviedo, editors University of Minnesota Press | 264 pages |
2008 ISBN 978-0-8166-4977-8 | hardcover | $75.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-4978-5
| paperback | $25.00 Electronic Mediations Series, volume 22
The essays in Small Tech investigate the cultural impact of digital
tools and provide fresh perspectives on mobile technologies such as
iPods, digital cameras, and PDAs and software functions like cut, copy,
and paste and WYSIWYG. Together they advance new thinking about digital
environments.
"Small Tech is a wide-ranging collection of essays on new media culture
and aesthetics by some of today's best theorists. What ties these essays
together is the conviction that digital technology cannot and should not
be used to thrust our culture into a disembodied and deracinated
'cyberspace.' The new hardware of smart phones and wearable computers
and new uses of familiar software are evidence of a changed relationship
between the physical and the virtual in our technoculture. It is this
new relationship that the authors of Small Tech describe for us with
clarity and insight." -Jay Bolter
