No longer need to write nicely or spell properly, computer does it want to get ideas out quickly (typing) then move on. # hashtag in twitter, language lol, wtf, omg. Something is always lost when a new thing comes along, new technology challenges who we think we are. Today when we find ourselves speaking about technology turkle pg. Identity gender, race, class etc. these distinctions are not as important, we can become whatever we are. Language is becoming all about fragments the language of movement and flow. What kind of personal life should i say i have (p 180, sherry turkle) Fb is tapped into something necessary/vital in order to function socially, idea of belonging, being apart of something, being inside . Life defined by endless amounts of screes (tv, phone, comp), live life through screens, only environment that is true to us.
