Connected

The thing now becoming increasing important is control over where we put our attention. We can hide from each other even if we are constantly connected to each other.

“When I ask people, what’s wrong with having a conversation, people say, I’ll tell you what’s wrong with having a conversation. It takes place in real time. And you can’t control what you’re gonna say.”

“So that’s the bottom line. texting, email posting all of these things let us present the self as we want to be. We get to edit and that means we get to delete and that means we get to retouch the face the voice the flesh, the body. Not too little, not too much. Just right.”

“Humans relationships are rich, and they’re messy, and they’re demanding, and we clean them up with technology.”
