Digitalization is the transformative event of our lifetimes. It is all-encompassing, omnipresent and irresistible. Its benefits are as undeniable as they are manifold.

Furthermore, it looks at what people do to protect themselves and to better integrate digitalization into their lives. In doing so, it offers a wide range of digital coping methods and strategies for everyone seeking a healthier conduct with the digital world of today. What you will find in this book: - An extensive summary of the most important social and security digital dangers we face. - Hands-on strategies and methods to better cope with digital dangers. - Real life examples backed with the latest scientific findings.
