Closer Together, Further Apart offers current unique insight into
the cultural shifts brought about by digital technology and the
Internet. It considers how these new connections are impacting not
only society as a whole, but more specifically communication in
relationships and across generations.
Digital technology has in less than a single generation,
dramatically and permanently altered the ways in which humans
connect and communicate with each other. Conversations and
information transfers that once either weren't possible or took
days to complete now occur in an instant. Technological advances
are profoundly affecting humankind, forcing us to change on
multiple levels.
As with all forms of human/social/technological change, these
advances will be good for some and bad for others. Those who learn
to effectively absorb information and use new technologies in
healthy ways will flourish, and those who don't may feel
increasingly disconnected from our technology driven world.
