Turkle + Technology = Something to Think About
Via SmartMobs comes a pointer to a piece by Sherry Turkle of MIT, "Can You Hear Me Now?", that suggests the dark side of technology. I've cited Turkle before (see How to Use Computers and Internet in Daily Transactions) as a provocative thinker.
I've questioned (see A Small View of a Possible World) whether "always on, always connected, always transacting" is a good thing. Prof. Turkle asks, it seems to me, the same question.
Prof. Turkle is always worth a read and a subsequent think.
