More Description"Our world is changing at an incredible rate. The recent advances in technology -- computers that you can hold in your hand with the ability to connect with anybody anywhere-have suddenly made the world very small, and there have certainly been some amazing benefits. Technology is not, in and of itself, evil. However, like everything in this life, it must be managed properly. We must control it, or, if we are not careful, we might wake up one day and realize that it is controlling us, or perhaps even worse, it is controlling our children."Connected is an indepth analysis of how technology infringes upon interpersonal relationships, especially in our modern teen culture. Michael Rea has over 30 years of experience in education and provides a balance of enlightening anectodotes from the lives of his students and profound researched based evidence of an eroding culture.
