  • Anybody else notice how when you click on a link in #Tweetdeck it often doesn't work until you click on it a 2nd or 3rd time? #
  • Think of @STurkle 's "Alone Together" as "apocalyptic" lit . for the impact of technology and relationships; Focus: Primacy of relationships #
  • @jvoorhees want any wi-fries with that? Sorry 🙂 #
  • All those in Church Communications: I want to know what you think of the blog entry I just posted http://bit.ly/gmMISv #
  • Church communc't'ns convos about SocialMedia seem to be either gung-ho techUtopian or complete Luddite. "Tech and Self" study needed #
  • @STurkle is director of "MIT intiative on Technology and the Self"…the church could use something like that; seems 2 b no middle ground #
  • arghhhh! Hyperconnectus- interruptus! Laptop battery running low, and no nearby AC outlet! Must acquire power! Ahhhhhhhhh…………. #
  • Prev tweet laughing about all the "connectivity" around me is not an irony b/c I am by myself #

  • RT @OsborneInk: RT @Karoli Tea Party Nation now pimping financial planning services 2 their members // spread that wealth/debt!!! #
  • @sturkle I see a parallel btw those who say criticismOfUSA=Unamerican and saying express concern over tech impact on relationships=Luddite #
  • can't connect to GMail inside Starbucks via AT&T wifi either….whaaa? Anybody else? #
  • re: Alone Together by @sturkle; book strikes such an imbalance, but many listed concerns/observations are legit; problem is how to remedy #
  • re @sturkle : Mainstr'm Media loves this "hey look, a Luddite; Get her!"; gets more eyeballs; her book needs more acknowl'gmt of positives #
  • @Starbuckhelo Don't think anti-tech is accurate; "careful " is better; she attacks this all wrong in her book; concerns mostly legit #
  • @redbox But I do appreciate you guys watching and particpating in Twitter #
  • @redbox But Blu-Ray is available at stores….what's the problem with RedBox? #

  • @studionashvegas going on where? Example(s)? #
  • @sturkle we need to take your cautions seriously, but I have some negative reactions to how you frame this #
  • @sturkle I think we see similar relational impacts w/ television and other electronic media ; ie. Impact on family meals, attention, etc. #
  • Didn't realize that search in Tweetdeck picks up original text in shortened links. Interesting and useful #
  • @sturkle not saying "technology bad", but "let's figure out about over-use and relational impact, especially on those not so "connected" #
