JUNE 8, 2018 – Want to book plane tickets? Order a pizza? Check college courses? Write a note to Aunt Sally? Chances are you’ll use a smartphone (or laptop or desktop or smartwatch or Amazon Echo) for that. In an “always on” society — with mini computers in reach at all times capable of solving nearly any problem or desire with a tap, pinch, or click — it’s harder than ever to escape the ever-increasing role that computer technologies play in daily life. But is this “new normal” quite so normal when it comes to human health? In his new book, “The Terminal Self: Everyday Life in Hypermodern Times,” UNLV sociology professor Simon Gottschalk examines the social and psychological toll of humanity’s increasingly online lives on work, education, family life, interactions, and the sense of self.
