Connected | Official Trailer | [HD]

Have you ever faked a restroom trip to check your email? Slept with your laptop? Or become so overwhelmed that you just unplugged from it all? In this funny, eye-opening, and inspiring film, director Tiffany Shlain takes audiences on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride to discover what it means to be connected in the 21st century. From founding The Webby Awards to being a passionate advocate for The National Day of Unplugging, Shlain's love/hate relationship with technology serves as the springboard for a thrilling exploration of modern life...and our interconnected future. Equal parts documentary and memoir, the film unfolds during a year in which technology and science literally become a matter of life and death for the director. As Shlain's father battles brain cancer and she confronts a high-risk pregnancy, her very understanding of connection is challenged. Using a brilliant mix of animation, archival footage, and home movies, Shlain reveals the surprising ties that link us not only to the people we love but also to the world at large. A personal film with universal relevance, Connected explores how, after centuries of declaring our independence, it may be time for us to declare our interdependence instead.

I know, my grandmother was one of them.

I don't expect the older generation to get online.

It appears that the majority of the film was produced without doing any field work. It seems that the the shots were collected from outside resources, like stock footage websites and such. It would be interesting to know how many of this films shot's that anyone could go buy from some 3rd party website for $10 a clip. This type of production has become very cost effective.

@darkjester53 I agree. People should have more control over themselves. It's email, not a drug!

When is it coming out? Interdependence is our future the sooner we accept it ad desire it ...the sooner we can evolve and start tackling some of the huge issues we face as a global community.
