IQ EQ DQ

"This book is about the safe and moral use of digital technology and reminds us that young minds may be especially at risk until they develop adequate digital intelligence (DQ). A must-read if you care about digital guardrails in our society." Vint Cerf, Internet Pioneer, One of the fathers of the Internet, and recipient of the US National Medal of Technology
"A must read story of passion and inspiration that has become the language of the 21st century; a language we need to ensure we are all able to embrace." Sir Peter Estlin, London
"Yuhyun's success here reflects her deep understanding of the digital revolution and the urgency of humans guiding it for good and not becoming its dependent pawns. In this book she shares that understanding with rare clarity-a gift." Bill Drayton, Founder, Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, and inventor of the terms 'social entrepreneur' and 'changemaker'
"After more than 30 years dedicated to helping people live fuller, richer, easier lives with technology, it fascinates me to see that the more we evolve, the more we speak of technology in de-humanized terms. The tool becomes de-coupled from the user and the usage case, the means becomes an end in and or itself, and the end comes back to haunt the society because we have failed to establish the foundations on which technologies of the 4th industrial revolution should have risen. What Dr Park does with her work on DQ is extremely valuable because it takes us back to foundations, and gives us a chance to catch up where we have lagged behind, especially with regards to the most vulnerable parts of the society: Our children. With #DQEveryChild, we now have a globally acceptable framework to support the growth of our children, not as victims of technology, but as fully aware digital citizens, responsible co-creators and visionary leaders of the digital world. This book takes us through her journey, which I am privileged to have been a part of, and into the depths of various dimensions of children's development in the digital spherean invaluable resource for not only for educators, parents and but also for each and every one of us in the technology space, if we are to ground ourselves as contributors to the well-being of the society and not as a factor in its disintegration." Kaan Terzioglu, Group Co-CEO, VEON
"I can tell you that the mission that Dr Park has embarked on and made strides in is of immense importance to the way we navigate the future. Her contribution in ensuring learners in education systems around the globe can flourish in an increasingly digital world is profound and has far reaching impact. To say she is a visionary is a massive understatement and I am certain that when future generations look back to this period in time they will refer to her in the same way as we do, today, of the icons who built the internet." Vikas Pota, Founder, T4 Education
"We are living in the middle of one of the most profound transformations in human history as the digital world becomes an integral part of our daily lives. Yuhyun's story poignantly captures this digital transformation. The evolution of the digital intelligence (DQ) concept as Yuhyun journeys from a concerned mother to a trailblazing social entrepreneur and researcher is what makes DQ so authentic and timely. DQ captures the human imagination and paints a path forward to not only address some of the greatest challenges of our time but to also imagine what is possible for the future of education in the digital era." Bertil Andersson, the third President of Nanyang Technological University, the former board member of the Nobel Foundation
"The world is rapidly changing with the ongoing digital transformation, and a large fraction of human activity, including education, is already taking place in the digital world. Nowadays, almost 1 billion children are online and, by 2050, all of them will be. We must pay greater attention to the possible shadows of the digital world and that is why I believe digital intelligence (DQ) is so critical to help children thrive in the digital world." Doh-Yeon Kim, Chairperson of Ulsan Education Foundation, Former Minister of Education, Science & Technology, Republic of Korea
