Mission
In recent years, the societal impact of technology has been noted as we become increasingly more con-
nected and are presented with more digital tools and devices. With the popularity of digital devices such
as cell phones and tablets, it is crucial to consider the implications of our digital dependence and the
presence of technology in our everyday lives.
The Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology (AHSAT) Book Series seeks to explore
the ways in which society and human beings have been affected by technology and how the technological
revolution has changed the way we conduct our lives as well as our behavior. The AHSAT book series
aims to publish the most cutting-edge research on human behavior and interaction with technology and
the ways in which the digital age is changing society.
