This book explores social media and technology across the lifespan. The authors argue that those of different ages and life stages have very diverse experiences with these types of media and demonstrate the importance of analysing the entire lifespan in the context of technology use. They acknowledge and celebrate social media for the positives that it can bring to our lives but also recognise that there may be challenges for particular developmental stages.
