Noah Michelson, the Voices Editorial Director at The Huffington Post and Executive Editor of Queer Voices, and Co-host of the Love + Sex Podcast returns to the show as he does every Thursday to help us close out the week with the stories making headlines over at Queer Voices.
Technology has become the architect of our intimacies.
Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of
Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with
authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a deep
solitude. MIT professor Sherry Turkle argues that as technology ramps up, our
emotional lives ramp down. Based on hundreds of interviews and with a new
introduction taking us to the present day, Alone Together describes changing,
unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, and families.
