While flipping through my favourite radio stations this morning, I happened upon this interview on Metro Morning. Host Matt Galloway spoke with Isabel Pedersen, Canada Research Chair in Digital Life, Media and Culture at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Interesting discussion about how our devices influence and even change our identity. This interview was quite timely after having read a blog post by a classmate of mine, Ann. In response to Sherry Turkle's statement, "The little devices in our pockets are so psychologically powerful that they don’t even change what we do, they change who we are", Ann asks:
As I post this blog entry and prepare to launch into the Twitterverse, does this change who I am? And if so, is this something I want to meet, or to run from?
