This article, and sentence, reminds me of the discussion we are having this semester, in my class #inf115, with @avunque. We are discussing two other articles. One is by Sherry Turkle called "Stop Googling. Let's Talk". http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/opinion/sunday/stop-googling-lets-talk.html?_r=1

The other one is by Nathan Jurgenson (@nathanjurgenson) called "Fear of Screens".http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/fear-of-screens/

This year the topic for our class is Reclaiming the Web, which comes together with Sherry Turkle’s new book called Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age.
