Sherry Turkle's sobering thoughts on communication and alienation

• Rated 3 stars out of 5.
• 

Sherry Turkle is probably the most knowledgeable and articulate observer and authority on the social impact of computing and the Internet on society, and especially on younger generations; I never miss an opportunity to read anything she had to say. But I rarely, if ever, bother to read "Forbes" magazine these days; so I would have missed this article if it hadn't been brought to my attention by Howard Rheingold and his "Smart Mobs" blog. Thanks, Howard -- and thanks, Sherry!
