The sheer volume of data that we have to process on a daily basis makes it harder than ever to discern important information from mere white noise.

Schuchardt-a former student of media studies pioneers Neil Postman and Marshall McLuhan-explores the opportunities and pitfalls of constant communication in a digital age. Engaging and thoughtful, this concise book will help Christian students use technology wisely and think carefully about the media-saturated world in which we live.
