Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone?

Ok, it has been a while since I have shared ‘a talk’ – and so you are getting one this week.

I think we can all relate to this – it is quite the world we are living in, and maybe I am just feeling the guilt of the time that I waste on facebook daily.

I am feeling like I need to unplug, and get back into having real life experiences – with real people – living in the moment – as messy, demanding and time consuming as it can be.

But boy it is scarey – I hate to feel like I am going to miss something. . . I don’t like to miss things – I want to be connected – apart of things.  Is it possible to live in both worlds?  Oh, now I know where I am most vulnerable. . . interesting.  Oh, control issues – ugh.

“I share, therefore I am…..”

“We don’t feel. . . . “

WOW.

Oh this is REALLY good. . . .
