Discussion Questions For 10/28/13

1. As Turkle mentions, if we don't adapt to the virtual and real worlds as it goes through changes, we will be not as both healthy mentally and physically. Can the internet experiences actually help us remain flexible, and in turn, healthy?

2. Turkle says that "Thinking about people as information carries the serious risk of impoverishing our sense of the human." How has the virtual world really affect the way we look at other people?

3. Since Turkle does not blame online persona, however the way she explains it is kind of interesting. She does not explain once a person adapts to the virtual world, they are opening themselves into having more than just one-identity notion. Why has the internet and online persona been the cause of more cases of MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder)?
