Social Influence

In just the past two decades, the Internet revolution has radically changed our world. Every aspect of life has been affected—from how we buy groceries to how we meet people, and from mass media phenomena to the way our own minds operate. Many of us are left wondering how we can use such a powerful tool without becoming just another part of it—or falling victim to its more sinister side. Under the Social Influence looks at specific positive and negative aspects of the Internet that can impact a person’s life and career. It uses common examples of our changing lifestyles, as well as unique and sometimes humorous stories of Internet use gone wrong—and methods for altering behavior for the better.
