The Winter of Our Disconnect: How Three Totally Wired Teenagers (and a Mother Who Slept with Her iPhone)Pulled the Plug on Their Technology and Lived to Tell the Tale
The Winter of Our Disconnect is the author's take on Thoreau's Walden, or Life in the Woods-in her case, her pulling the plug for herself and her three teens on the digital world for six months.
The book is uneven in quality-I found the interspersing of journal entries with straightforward narrative an interesting idea that nevertheless felt awkward and not fully integrated into the text-but the information about the digital world and its effect on our children was fascinating. I also enjoyed the stories of the experience on herself and her children. As the mother of two plugged-in teens (well, one young adult), I was in awe of her courage in pulling the plug and happy to read how well it went.
Although I would not call this a "great" book, I would strongly recommend it to parents and teachers and anyone interested in the effect of being digital immigrants (us older people) and digital natives (those born or brought young into this culture). It's an easy read with lots of interesting and even important pieces of information.
