Teaser: For those of you who follow my Psychology of Technology blog posts
(especially here
<http://drjimtaylor.com/blog/2009/10/psychology-of-technology-relationships-
2-0-how-technology-is-redefining-how-we-connect/> and here
<http://www.fuzemobility.com/psychology-of-technology-does-technology-connec
tion-mean-life-disconnection-2/> ), you know that I'm a bit cynical about
how technology is impacting us, particularly when it comes to how we define
relationships. My worries aren't so great that I'm looking to wipe out our
communications grid with an electromagnetic pulse or anything like that
(Instant Quiz: Can you tell me what long-cancelled television show was based
on that premise and who starred in it?), but the ways in which new media
have changed our ability to establish relationships have me concerned.
But this post isn't about all the problems that new media may cause. To the
contrary, I want to honor a truly wonderful aspect of this rapidly emerging
and evolving technology. I'm talking about the on-line communities that
offer knowledge bases, forums, and collaboration in an area of common
interest.
