A few weeks ago, I was invited to speak on a podcast with the best possible name of all time:

www.pontificast.com

Joey and Ryan (two smart, funny, creative guys) had me on for three episodes to discuss the effect of technology on people. I've been reading quite a few books and articles in this area lately, and concurrently such considerations have begun to move out of the academy and into the mainstream with articles such as Nicholas Carr's article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

Here are links to the three episodes:

• The Medium is the Message (the effect of communication technologies on our thinking)
• Technology's Effect on People (the speed of modern life takes its toll)
• Technology and Relationships (the impact of facebook, twitter, and the rest)

Hope you enjoy!
