具体描述
Consider Facebookit’s human contact, only easier to engage with and easier to avoid. Developing technology promises closeness. Sometimes it delivers, but much of our modern life leaves us less connected with people and more connected to simulations of them. In Alone Together , MIT technology and society professor Sherry Turkle explores the power of our new tools and toys to dramatically alter our social lives. It’s a nuanced exploration of what we are looking forand sacrificingin a world of electronic companions and social networking tools, and an argument that, despite the hand-waving of today’s self-described prophets of the future, it will be the next generation who will chart the path between isolation and connectivity.

##那两个故事简直讲得就是灾难.既然要说明的是digital culture和人类与机器的关系,切入的角度就十分错误.
##via 马修, 火车上读的。
##Demonstrates people's vulnerability when always connected. Inspiring.
##that's why i dislike sociology...tons of redundant self-justifications...it's undeniable that these problems exist but the way sociologists address them only makes them all the more complicated and confusing...
##1. AIBO一类都还不算AI的robot毕竟只是addition而不是substitution的存在。2. Turkle延续了几年前的思路，试图从relational artifact的角度而不是intrinsic property的角度来思考科技or even AI。那么问题来了，如此distinction真的站得住脚么？Turkle对relational artifact的担忧恰恰是来自于科技某些intrinsic property的缺失。
##名字很文艺，内容很学术。
