I feel this video contains a very important concept. It touches on a few topics I have covered in my posts like the addiction to being “plugged in” and the loss of meaningful connections, of our village selves. I am aware of the irony that I am sharing this through a blog and through Facebook but I want to know what you all think.
I have certainly felt pangs of loneliness often in life and being a stay at home mum seems to amplify that at certain times. Do you relate to this? Do you think there is an answer? And what of the idea ” I share therefore I am“, part of the reason I am a sporadic blogger is how disheartened I feel at the need to constantly share life to stay ahead of the game when it comes to the blogging world.
I also have come across a TED talk by Sherry Turkle that this short documentary was based around. It is well worth taking 20minutes to watch. A very important message to our cyber selves http://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turkle_alone_together#
