Now a leading researcher at MIT draws on 20 years of research to show how these trends threaten our political, economic, and emotional health in this eye-opening exploration of the dark side of technological progress. Today we have the ability, unprecedented in human history, to amplify our interactions with each other through social media. It is paramount, MIT social media expert Sinan Aral says, that we recognize the outsized impact social media has on our culture, our democracy, and our lives in order to steer today's social technology toward good, while avoiding the ways it can pull us apart. Otherwise, we could fall victim to what Aral calls "The Hype Machine." As a senior researcher of the longest-running study of fake news ever conducted, Aral found that lies spread online farther and faster than the truth--a harrowing conclusion that was featured on the cover of Science magazine. Among the questions Aral explores following twenty years of field research: Did Russian interference change the 2016 election? And how is it affecting the vote in 2020? Why does fake news travel faster than the truth online? How do social ratings and automated sharing determine which products succeed and fail? How does social media affect our kids? First, Aral links alarming data and statistics to three accelerating social media shifts: hyper-socialization, personalized mass persuasion, and the tyranny of trends. Next, he grapples with the consequences of the Hype Machine for elections, businesses, dating, and health. Finally, he maps out strategies for navigating the Hype Machine, offering his singular guidance for managing social media to fulfill its promise going forward. Rarely has a book so directly wrestled with the secret forces that drive the news cycle every day"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001376957 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 07, 2020). 001376957 650_0 $$aSocial media$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 001376957 650_0 $$aInformation society. 001376957 650_0 $$aSocial interaction. 001376957 650_0 $$aPropaganda. 001376957 650_0 $$aCommon fallacies. 001376957 650_7 $$aCommon fallacies$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01430086 001376957 650_7 $$aInformation society$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00972767 001376957 650_7 $$aPropaganda$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01078957 001376957 650_7 $$aSocial interaction$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01122562 001376957 650_7 $$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Consumer Behavior.$$2bisacsh 001376957 655_4 $$aElectronic books. 001376957 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001376957 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAral, Sinan.$$tThe hype machine$$bFirst edition.$$dNew York : Currency, [2020]$$z9780525574514$$w(DLC) 2020012039 001376957 852__ $$bebk 001376957 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2349980$$zOnline Access 001376957 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1376957$$pGLOBAL_SET 001376957 938__ $$aEBSCOhost$$bEBSC$$n2349980 001376957 980__ $$aBIB 001376957 980__ $$aEBOOK 001376957 982__ $$aEbook 001376957 983__ $$aOnline
