With the emergence of digital media, we are living in the most heavily mediated society in human history. With life now becoming synonymous with digital gadgets, we seem to consider their presence as ordinary and their absence as something unnatural. Regardless of the challenges posed by the digital age, one thing is certain: we can’t turn back the clock. The force of digital technology can neither be stopped, nor should we even want it to be. What is required of us is to have adequate knowledge that can help us identify the varied problems, challenges and possibilities in the digital culture we are part of, and necessary skills to wade through the waters of the digital sea safely and sensibly.
