"Never have we needed more to keep our eye on the real...With every technology we must ask, does it serve our human purposes? A question that causes us happily to reconsider what these purposes are?" Professor Turkle's work is so fundamental...wonderful

If you're interested in Sherry Turkle's Alone Together and how technology isolates us, you should check out the short film Do Not Disconnect for free on YouTube.

The short indie is about a girl who tries to break out of a world where everyone is plugged into their headphones. A world with no interaction.

Please take a few minutes of your time to watch this fun, heartfelt, and insightful short film!

As a second year student at London Uni I was reading an item in The Sunday Times and that put me on to Professor Turkle. This is a great video and a very interesting and relevant talk. I have to say as well and with the greatest of respect that Profesor Turkle is a very attractive older woman...
