This article is about the South by Southwest Festival which is a yearly festival that embraces the new technological achievements and also movies, music and all things technological. But, the quesitons they bring up this year are Do all those connections make you happy? More productive? Or more profound? So basically people are starting to think more and more that the tiem we spend with our technology is making us more anti social. But is it really as we have discussed in class social networking sites such as Facebook are helpiung people create new relationships and spark old ones. Even though we may not have as much interaction face to face anymore we are still interacting with each other in a different way. So in a way we have gotten more social with each other and in a more comfortable way for some people.
Online people can really let themselves go and be who they want, instead fo worrying about what others will think. The attitudes and behavior seem to be more accepted online as well no matter what your race, color or who you really are. This is an interesting article and it will make you think about these things so please read it
