The exponential technological growth our society has experienced brings leisure and efficiency, but not without consequence. In The Glass Cage, author Nicholas Carr examines this phenomenon and the cause and effect situations brought on by advances in modern technology, as well as what the future of an increasingly computer-based culture holds. Carr relates how we are affected on a personal and economic level. Finally, he studies how technology can be used to expand on the human experience and how we can guide this ever-growing animal to do more good than bad in this inevitable future.
