The Cyber Effect

By Mary Aiken

Categories: Computers & Technology, Politics & Social Sciences

In The Cyber Effect (2016), Irish cyberpsychologist Mary Aiken examines how technology and the internet are changing human behaviour. Aiken explores how online environments affect children's development, relationships, dating, compulsive behaviour, anonymity and crime. Drawing on her research and forensic work, she argues that people behave differently online and calls for greater awareness and protection, especially for children, from families, technology companies and governments alike.
