He compares this moment in time to other great technological revolutions in humanity\'s past and presents entertaining micro-histories of cultural fixtures: the sandbox, finger painting, the family dinner, and more.
Shapiro offers concrete, practical advice on how to parent and educate children effectively in a Connected world, and provides tools and techniques for using technology to engage with Kids and help them learn and grow.
Drawing on groundbreaking research in economics, psychology, philosophy, and education, The New Childhood shows how technology is guiding humanity toward a bright future in which our children will be able to create new, better models of global citizenship, connection, and community.
In The New Childhood , Jordan Shapiro provides a hopeful counterpoint to the fearful hand-wringing that has come to define our narrative around children and technology.
