Shownotes Transcript

***Is technology really rotting our brains, destroying our society... or is that what everyone has always worried about with every technological advance, going back to tv, or telephones, or even writing letters? The new book, ******Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Changing Feelings about Technology, from the Telegraph to Twitter ***)tries to look at this question from a historical perspective. Is it really different this time? But more importantly... to what degree has technological change impacted how we think of things, and vice-versa.

My thanks to the authors, Luke Fernandez and Susan J. Matt.
