Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less From Each Other

Turkle will shed light on the ways our use of technology is encouraging disturbing levels of isolation. We use social networking technology to modulate our relationships and make relationships easier to handle. But, as Turkle says, we just end up debasing them by showing how easily we are "willing to give up on each other."
