Technology and Continuity & Change

Technology and Continuity & Change

1. Negative Changes

   • Escaping Reality
   • Connecting better with technology rather than humans - alone together
   • Fear lack of control in real time
   • Sacrifice conversation for mere connection
   • Tech - changes who we are, not just what we do
   • "Use technology as spare parts to support ourselves"
   • Expect more from technology and less from ourselves
   • Illusion of companionship without responsibility of friendship

2. Positive Changes

3. Other

   • Do all of the 'sips' of social media add up to one gulp of conversation?
   • If we don't teach our children to be alone - they will be lonely

4. Important Points

   • Want control over where we put attention and when
   • Being alone feels like a problem that needs to be solved
   • Technology appeals most when we are most vulnerable
   • "I share therefore I am" - identity
   • Without connection, we dont feel like ourselves
