Composed of 100 bite-sized entries of 400 to 600 words each, Netymology weaves together stories, etymologies and analyses around digital culture's transformation, and creation, of words. Tom Chatfield presents a kaleidoscopic, thought-provoking tour through the buried roots of some of the digital age's most common terms: from the @ and Apple symbols, to HTML and Trojan horses, to the twisted histories of new forms of slang, memes, text messages and gaming terms. There's also discussion of the trends behind digital words, and of the ways language itself is being shaped by new forces - and revelations about how these forces are, in turn, reshaping us.

Ľudská civilizácia prechádza búrlivým vývojom, a hoci v súčasnosti má prístup k internetu okolo dvoch miliárd ľudí, čo je takmer tretina celkovej a polovica dospelej populácie, pre väčšinu z nás je tempo technologických a kultúrnych zmien príliš rýchle a len ťažko dokážeme pochopiť, čo sa vlastne deje. Publikácia Digitálny vek sa preto stáva nenahraditeľným pomocníkom pri spoznávaní digitálnych technológií od internetových prehliadačov využívaných pri surfovaní na internete a aktualizovaní svojich statusov na sociálnych sieťach cez dosah na ochranu súkromia nášho permanentne zmäteného sveta až po culture jamming, ktorý čoraz častejšie využívajú protestné hnutia v boji proti tradičným autoritám, od malvéru k mashupom cez spam k sémantickému webu, od blogovania, chatovania, agregácie k vírusom, emailu či avatarom. Publikácia predstavuje povinné čítanie pre všetkých, ktorí sa chcú zorientovať a porozumieť rozsiahlym spoločenským zmenám v dnešnom digitálnom veku.

This title unpicks the complexities of our digital world and discovers how to live well within it.
