I am currently in a hotel room, tv's on and my two team mates are with me, one's sleeping and the other is on her computer. Wow, even in such a small room we are doing our own thing, and of course the television is on but neither of us is really watching it. Thank you wireless internet.
But there I go again, going off on the negative of technology. Today, Juraj suggested for me to check out this PBS documentary, Digital Nation, and so I checked out the trailer on youtube. The end of the trailer really interested me, because someone actually says, "technology is actually starting to bring us back together again, you're not alone anymore" (Digital Nation). I find this really interesting because this pretty much contradicts, Sherry Turkle's research and book, Alone Together. Definitely going to have to watch the whole documentary to get a better understanding as to why they came to that conclusion. You can watch the trailer below.
