具體描述
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.

##社會學教授說要讀完。。。
##A great book, makes you think! See the need, explore the market, and produce the products. But it is not about what the technology do for us, it is about what the technology do to us.
##昨晚正好看瞭機械姬。。。感覺就是psychopath的變種啊，書主要觀點還是人找機器人做伴侶是因為they'd rather live disappointed than to be disappointed. 沒挑戰那多沒意思嘛
##社會學教授說要讀完。。。
##那兩個故事簡直講得就是災難.既然要說明的是digital culture和人類與機器的關係,切入的角度就十分錯誤.
##計算機專業的也可以瞅瞅
