The four book series Technology in Our Time thoughtfully examines a broad range of topics and issues central to the study of new media.

Volume I: Doing Digital Media explores emerging forms of self identification, self expression, and relationship formation in the online world. The book examines presentations of self, e-neighbors, the social implications of gaming, cyberbullying, and privacy and surveillance through readings that open up the discussion of how lives lived online and in virtual words may lead to communicating and behaving in ways that differ profoundly from face-to-face interpersonal interactions. Whether one is searching for love, openly and passionately tweeting a personal opinion, or expressing a hidden self through an avatar, doing digital media may well represent the next phase of how people define themselves and interact with others.
