Publisher's Synopsis
Emerging stages of the internet are now built on a plethora of different technologies working in an interoperable ecosystem. Many of these technologies converge, creating unexpected, innovative value for society and organizations. For society, disruptive technologies alter the way people interact and lead their lives both personally and professionally. These changes have immediate and long-term consequences, whose effects are subtle and need to be further identified and discussed. Impacts of Sensetech on Society explores emerging technologies that amplify social and economic change. It examines various fields where the impact would otherwise be lower, namely by leveraging the convergence effect. Covering topics such as information technologies, user preferences, and immersive journalism, this book is an excellent resource for computer engineers, sociologists, economists, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and more.
