      We Thundered Out
    • Gegenstände, die über das Internet kommunizieren, gar selbstständig Entscheidungen treffen - das schien eher zum Gedankengut von Nerds und Science-Fiction-Fans zu passen als zu einem realistischen Bild unserer Wirklichkeit. Inzwischen haben die Visionen Einzug in unseren Alltag gehalten - über Sportarmbänder, vernetzte Automobile und Haushaltsgeräte, die sich via Smartphone steuern lassen. Was bedeutet diese Entwicklung für uns? Macht sie unser Leben besser oder gefährdet sie es? Philip N. Howard forscht seit vielen Jahren über den Einfluss der digitalen Medien auf das politische Leben. Er zeigt, wie wir uns vor den Gefahren schützen, aber auch die Potenziale nutzen.
