Plugging in with Fingers and Eyes
January 5th, 2010
Jim Stogdill writes very well about a compelling theme in his article entitled Skinner Box? There’s an App for That. I would have to sum it up as being about the nature of distraction in today’s networked world, and our role in its continuation.
There are a few tantalizing snippets that I just have to share hoping to lure you into reading the whole thing, if you can focus long enough.
- A self licking ice cream cone of the mind
- We’re pre-implant so I plug into the Skinner Borg with fingers and eyes
- The very technology that makes our collective integration possible also distracts us from advancing it
