Ideas Project
"The traditional view of high technology is that it is cold and impersonal, isolating and dehumanizing us. By using hi-tech tools, the thinking goes, we have fewer reasons to interact with each other, and so we become digital islands with increasingly-fewer touchpoints. But depending on how it’s used, communications technology – especially the mobile kind – actually has the ability to connect us in many new ways, and in the process reinforce our humanness and extend our ability to build valuable connections."
