{"product_id":"2940172441769","title":"When Gadgets Betray Us: The Dark Side of Our Infatuation With New Technologies","description":"Technology is evolving faster than we are.  As our BlackBerry devices, tablets, and digital capabilities become more and  more complex we understand less and less about how they work. we no longer  read the instruction manual before powering on, and we demand intuitive  interfaces that get us up and running right away. But how many of us actually  stop to think about potential threats to our privacy?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Our passports broadcast our personal information and could allow terrorists  to target us by nationality. Keyless entry systems in many high-tech car  models make auto theft easier than ever. Commercial photocopiers are equipped  with hard drives that can document everything we ever copied on it. And our  digital photos, even after they're cropped, can expose the entire original  image (hope you weren't doing anything naughty in that facebook profile  picture).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In When Gadgets Betray Us, Robert Vamosi, a technology reporter and analyst  who has been covering the internet age for over a decade, investigates the  dark side of digital capability and convenience. He uncovers a secret world  of privacy loss that most of us never consider- that is, until something goes  terribly wrong. From iPads to BlackBerry devices, online banking to keyless  entry systems, we're increasingly giving over the management of our crucial  information to the latest and greatest electronic gadgets.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Vamosi helps us comprehend the technology in our everyday lives and develop  a common sense about how to protect ourselves. An essential guide for  understanding what we're really signing up for every time we log-in, When  Gadgets Betray Us reveals the secret lives of our electronic devices so that  we can all better manage the real risks.","brand":"Instructional Systems [Aubrey J.
