Sociological analysis of the digital life by Sherry Turkle (MIT). Does the abundance of online interactions overwhelm us and take a toll on our real-life interactions and relations?

Interesting angle from MIT Prof Sherry Turkle about the impact of online technology on relations in society. Need to read the book to know what her conclusion is, but the question she poses is relevant."Technology promises to let us do anything from anywhere with anyone. But it also drains us as we try to do everything everywhere. We begin to feel overwhelmed and depleted by the lives technology makes possible. We may be free to work from anywhere, but we are also prone to being lonely everywhere. In a surprising twist, relentless connection leads to a new solitude. We turn to new technology to fill the void,but as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. "
