The Innovation of Loneliness from Shimi Cohen on Vimeo.
Yes, I posted The Innovation of Loneliness in Reclaiming Conversations (9/12/2013) when considering some of the work of Sherry Turkle and offering Transformative Conversations as a resource. But the recent attention given to Saving the Lost Art of Conversation: In a fast-paced digital age, an MIT psychologist tries to slow us down (Megan Garber. The Atlantic. 12/22/2013), an extensive amount of time on-line in the midst of the holidays[1], a lengthy conversation with one of my teenage daughters about the influence of technology, and the encounter of meeting John Hundley (ESN blogger) in person when at InterVarsity Staff Conference 2014[2] leads me to once again offer this piece for your reflection as we (individually and as a network) prayerfully seek direction in the new year. More in the notes and in future posts, but feel free to get things moving by sharing comments below. . . .
