Yesterday I tweeted that Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus was still the best song ever (and it pretty much is.) Late last night I saw I had a reply, and this message popped up. Kind of sums up this crazy digital age we live in - also brought a true smile to my face.
Skeleton is a fast winter sliding sport in which an individual person rides a small sled down a frozen track while lying face down, during which athletes experience forces up to 5g. It is pretty much insane.
Within a single generation, digital media and the World Wide Web have transformed virtually every aspect of modern culture, from the way we learn and work to the ways in which we socialize and even conduct war. But is the technology moving faster than we can adapt to it? And is our 24/7 wired world causing us to lose as much as we’ve gained?
In Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier, FRONTLINE presents an in-depth exploration of what it means to be human in a 21st-century digital world. Continuing a line of investigation she began with the 2008 FRONTLINE report Growing Up Online, award-winning producer Rachel Dretzin embarks on a journey to understand the implications of living in a world consumed by technology and the impact that this constant connectivity may have on future generations.
Pretty disappointed with Frontline’s fear inducing episode on technology and children. Always amazed when the baby-boomers start trying to analyze our drunk on technology brains. ADD and Multitasking - we must run from the future.
I live in New York, sandwiched between Greenwich Village and Soho. I co-founded onebluebrick with this guy. We are hard at work on Fast Society. Our first project was an awesome little website called edopter. Other neat things about me: I so infrequently go to midtown that I still feel sense of awe when I get off the subway. I go to concerts, I eat BBQ, and occasionally I will read a book. One day I will rewrite this paragraph and it will be much more interesting.
