Review of Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a Technological Age, October 17, 2007
This review is from: Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a Technological Age (Paperback)
Michael Bugeja's presentation of the issues that surround the use of technology in todays world are clear and concise. His point of the need of face-to-face contact between individuals is vital in developing civic engagement within a civil society. However, what Mr Bugeja fails to realize is the recursive self-reflective thinking process of individuals who are engaged in civil discourse with the aide of technolgy. Even though it is true to recognize that marketing technics do diminish the thought process of passive participants with technology, yet, when individuals do become aware of the marketing methods of 'group think', an active interaction with technology can enhance the thought and decision making process of those individuals who use technology as a tool for solving social and human capital problems.
