Alone Together...redux

I just came across this article in the New York Times written by Sherry Turkle, author of ALONE TOGETHERicon.

She clearly articulates some of the problems and challenges we face in our relationships because of technology. I wrote a blog post about her excellent and insightful book, ALONE TOGETHERicon in September, 2011.

In the article (and the book!) she offers a compelling exploration of what she believes are some issues we face as technology becomes more and more a part of our daily lives and we rely on it more and more to communicate with others.

       

I found it fascinating. Maybe you will too!
