Quotation of the Day for March 9, 2012



"We're using inanimate objects to convince ourselves that even when we're alone, we feel together. And then when we're with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we feel alone-constantly on our mobile devices. It's what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what's important in our human connections."

- Sherry Turkle, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, from her book, Alone Together.
