Recenzje

"In this book, the authors take an in-depth view of Information Technology’s (IT) understudied dark side and its dire consequences on individuals, organizations, and society. It covers: IT-related overload and IT-addiction; the brain and paradigms of the mind; individual differences in experiencing IT-related overload; measures of IT-related overload; and leveraging the positive side of IT. With theoretical underpinnings from the fields of cognitive psychology, management, and information systems, the idea of brain overload is defined and explored, from its impact on our decision-making and memory to how we may cope with the resultant 'technostress.'"— Journal of Consumer Policy
