Welcome to Litsy!

The first half of this book was about robots & how we as humans interact with them emotionally. The second part was focused on social media, being online & how that is affecting our relationships with each other. It‘s an accessible read, although it is a bit dated and often repetitive. It probably made an impact at the time it was released. 👇

1. Tybee Island
2. Watching Alone Together
3. Morning
4. I've never seen my neighbor, but I do think some lives next door.
5. Do something else or switch books.

Re-reading

I am So Excited for this! I'm in the Central time zone in the US, so I can't wait to see how my Litsy friends start celebrating the day! @Ambrosnazzy you are a genius!
I'm not going to make a list of what I'm going to read, I'll just take it as it comes. And if there were ever a time for #Litsomnia to hit, hopefully it's then!
This is going to be such an awesome party!

#TBRtemptation post! Found this in the Science section, but it seems more appropriate for the Social Sciences section, particularly Sociology (one of my favorite sections since I love learning about human interactions & cultures). Written by an MIT professor, it explores the differences between face-to-face life & simulated life of the online world (hello, Litsy, lol). I'll definitely be checking out her predictions. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

When Thoreau considered "where I live and what I live for," he tied together location and values. Where we live doesn't just change how we live; it informs who we become. Most recently, technology promises us lives on the screen. What values, Thoreau would ask, follow from this new location? Immersed in simulation, where do we live, and what do we live for?
