This failure often arises from numerous problems: the proficiency of the technology or end-user, policy failure at various levels, or a combination of these. Solutions such as better technology and more effective end-user education are often put into place to solve these failures. Mike Healy argues that such approaches are inherently faulty drawing upon qualitative research informed by Marx's theory of alienation. Using Marx's theory, he considers participants in three distinct settings: the workplace of information and communications technology (ICT) professionals; university scholars researching the ethical and societal implications of our digital environment; and a group of pensioners living in South London, UK, undertaking ICT training. By delving beneath the surface of how digital technologies are created, researched and experienced, this study illustrates the contradictory nature of our digital lives, as they directly arise from the needs of capitalism. The book also places Marx's theory in contrast to the mainstream approaches derived from Seaman and Blauner. In researching and comprehending ICT, this book reaffirms the superior explanatory power of Marx's theory of alienation. 410 0$aCDSMS (Series) 517 $aMarx and Digital Machines 606 $aAlienation (Philosophy) 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aPhilosophy, Marxist 615 0$aAlienation (Philosophy) 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Marxist. 676 $a199.87 700 $aHealy$b Mike$c(Independent researcher),$01227872 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688417203321 996 $aMarx and Digital Machines$92921830 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04499nam 22006375 450 001 9910337462003321 005 20251116204254.0 010 $a3-319-78512-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-78512-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000004835371 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-78512-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5430752 035 $a(PPN)229496318 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000004835371 100 $a20180614d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 12$aA Mathematical Modeling Approach from Nonlinear Dynamics to Complex Systems /$fedited by Elbert E.

It provides up-to-date theoretic developments and new techniques based on a nonlinear dynamical systems approach that can be used to model and understand complex behavior in nonlinear dynamical systems. It covers symmetry groups, conservation laws, risk reduction management, barriers in Hamiltonian systems, and synchronization and chaotic transient. Illustrating mathematical modeling applications to nonlinear physics and nonlinear engineering, the book is ideal for academic and industrial researchers concerned with machinery and controls, manufacturing, and controls. · Introduces new concepts for understanding and modeling complex systems; · Explains risk reduction management in complex systems; · Examines the symmetry group approach to understanding complex systems; · Illustrates the relation between transient chaos and crises. 410 0$aNonlinear Systems and Complexity,$x2195-9994 ;$v22 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aVibration 606 $aDynamics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 606 $aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33020 606 $aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068 606 $aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15036 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aVibration. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 14$aComplexity. 615 24$aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. 615 24$aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control. 676 $a620 702 $aMacau$b Elbert E.
