Une famille, trois ados, zéro média électronique Vous avez trois cents amis sur Facebook et quatre cent cinquante followers sur Twitter, mais à quand remonte le dernier dîner en famille où vous avez eu une vraie conversation avec vos enfants ? Le monde va-t-il vraiment s'arrêter de tourner si vous éteignez votre smartphone ? Voilà le genre de questions que se pose Susan Maushart quand elle embarque ses trois adolescents de quatorze, quinze et dix-huit ans dans une cure de déconnexion de tous les médias électroniques pendant six mois. Peu à peu les enfants, "natifs numériques" qui ne se contentent pas d'utiliser les médias mais vivent dans les médias, sont amenés à réfléchir sur leur comportement. Et Susan ne ressort pas non plus indemne de cette expérience qui l'amènera quelques mois plus tard à bouleverser totalement sa vie.
Édifiant et drôle, son carnet de bord retrace les différentes étapes de cette aventure gratifiante où la famille reconquiert toutes les bonnes choses dont la technologie numérique peut nous priver si nous n'y prenons pas garde.

About the author

Susan Maushart

25 books24 followers
Columnist, author and social commentator Dr. Susan Maushart is a mother of three teenagers. For over a decade, her weekly column has been part of a balanced breakfast for readers of the Weekend Australian Magazine. Maushart is heard regularly on ABC Radio's popular online series 'Multiple Choice', and is a Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Western Australia. Her four books have been published in eight languages, and her essays and reviews have appeared in a host of international publications. She holds a PhD in Media Ecology from New York University. Maushart's first book was the award-winning Sort of a Place Like Home, a history of the Moore River Settlement (later depicted in Philip Noyce's 2002 film classic Rabbit-Proof Fence). The bestselling The Mask of Motherhood was hailed by the London Times as "a feminist classic," and Wifework: What Marriage Really Means for Women started arguments right around the globe. Her book, What Women Want Next, looks at the question of feminine fulfilment in a post-feminist world.
She moved to Perth, Western Australia from New York 19 years ago but insists she is only passing through.
