Parents, Not Kids, Are the Biggest Abusers of Technology

If you're interested in Sherry Turkle's Alone Together and how technology isolates us, you should check out the short film Do Not Disconnect on YouTube.

The short indie is about a girl who tries to break out of a world where everyone is plugged into their headphones. A world with no interaction.

Please take a few minutes of your time to watch it.
