A man is driving down the highway with his son when they get into an accident.
The man dies but the boy is rushed off to the hospital with sever injuries.
When they roll the child in for surgery, the surgeon says "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!"

How can this be?

Here is a good article if you're interested in reading more about the "attention economy" funded by our addiction to digital devices and pseudo-pleasures. It raises a few good points about why we should consider un-plugging and ultimately changing the way we use the technology available.

Enjoy.

Response: Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone?

In her TED talk “Connected, but alone?” Sherry Turkle offers an interesting suggestion that homes and work places should “reclaim” areas for real-time conversation. In an effort to challenge the ever-growing familiarity of being constantly connected online, I think it would be a wonderful initiative to commit certain rooms or spaces to an un-plugged policy. In our culture it is perfectly acceptable in most situations to hide from the people around you via digital technology (I’m talking to you, fellow bus riders), and I would love to see a shift in the way people communicate in the moment.
