- Summary:
- "Bringing together ideas from philosophy and cognitive science, Distracted leverages a postphenomenological perspective to reveal how our smartphones make us such bad drivers. Robert Rosenberger shows that we have developed habits of perception regarding our compulsive technology use-habits that may wrest our attention away from the road-and contends that a better understanding of why this combination of technologies is so dangerous could effectively adjust both habits and laws"-- Provided by publisher.
