Описание: On the role smartphones play in the lives of the aging in contemporary Ireland.

This volume documents a radical change in the experience of aging. Based on two ethnographies in Dublin, Ireland, the book illustrates how smartphones enable old people to focus on crafting a new life in retirement. For some, the smartphone is an intimidating burden linked to being on the wrong side of a new digital divide. But for most, however, it has become integral to a new trajectory towards a more sustainable life, both for themselves and their environment. The smartphone has reunited extended family and old friends, helped resolve intergenerational conflicts though new forms of grandparenting, and has become a health resource. This is a book about acknowledging late middle age in contemporary Ireland and examines how older people in Ireland experience life today.

Описание: A look at the adoption of smartphones by older people across the globe.

The smartphone is often literally right in front of our nose--but do we really know what it is, or what its consequences are for people's lives around the world? This volume presents the findings of eleven anthropologists in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America on the adoption of smartphones by older people. Their research reveals that smartphones are a technology for everyone, not just for the young. The Global Smartphone presents a series of original perspectives deriving from a comparative research project on the ways that people use smartphones. The smartphone is unprecedented in the degree to which the user can transform it. It follows that in order to comprehend it, we must take into consideration a range of national and cultural nuances, such as visual communication in China and Japan, mobile money in Cameroon and Uganda, and access to health information in Chile and Ireland--all alongside diverse trajectories of aging in Al Quds, Brazil, and Italy.

Описание: Forced into the underground by an oppressive global government, a brilliant engineer, Slade, has secretly developed the most revolutionary biotechnology mankind has ever known...but when he and his wife are brutally murdered, a vicious liaison of a hellish dimension tears Slade across space and time, damning him to a dark netherworld. Fooled into bartering his scientific knowledge for a second chance at life, Slade is forced to use that technology to survive his resurrection. Now, more a demonic machine than man, Slade must journey through the wilderness of the hell dimension in an unlikely alliance with demons. As he hones his skills to exact his revenge, he learns that the stakes are higher than he ever anticipated - he must prevent apocalypse at the hands of his power-hungry captor from the netherworld, whose traitorous plot supersedes even the evil designs of Hell`s rulers. The ultimate conflict explodes through the fabric of both dimensions. As man and demon spill blood and evil closes in from every quarter, can Slade learn to use his newfound strength, and hatred, to destroy his nemesis? In the midst of fighting for his life in the wilds of an alien dimension, Slade experiences revelations that throw into question everything that he thought he knew, thought he believed...thought he was. With his entire reality thrown into upheaval and the countdown to apocalypse looming, can Slade regain control of his shattered mind and altered body in time to find the truth and overcome the forces of destruction?
