The Digital Disconnect: Are digital media distracting our families from real conversations?

The discussion will be based on the topics

addressed in a recent New York
Times article, The Flight from Conversation, by Sherry Turkle and Larry Rosen's
article, Attention Alert: A Study on
Distraction Reveals Some Surprises, in Psychology Today blog.  In these short and easy-to-read articles, Ms. Turkle and
Mr. Rosen address how technology may be changing our children’s and our
families’ ability to converse, reflect and focus.  Each author suggests strategies to unplug but
our collective group will develop more.


The
articles are available on our website by clicking on “The Digital Disconnect.”  You do not need to have read the articles to
