This book contains reflections on learning and socializing with digital media. Performing asynchronous communication and verbal interaction by combining new and old media is fast becoming the norm of everyday practice. This is true for those who enjoy interacting on the fly in more than one directed attention, for mobile, digital notebook and handset games are used interchangeably to this end. In alignment with the knowledge economy, managing digital resource as a skill is profiled as a prerequisite for certain jobs. Dow Jones Factiva, for example, may become a relevant decision making tool because holistic views may be incorporated for consideration. A non-exhaustive list of experts on digital media and education from the Malay world of Southeast Asia is also being developed. It is ironic that gender relations, assumed as given by many unawares, have become problematic and glaring in the virtual world. The narrative acknowledges that online actors may be at risk of cyber bullying. Cases leading to the victimization of digital media users are highlighted as precaution. SPAM is an unmistakable ill experience and managing SPAM is found to be a common digital irritation which may be dismissive or costly. The content suggests that more emphasis on the influences of digital media in daily interactivity beyond its use for harnessing work-related or leisured outcomes is necessary.
