Author Sherry Turkle will visit the College of the Holy Cross to discuss how technology is altering our social lives.
In conjunction with the talk, on Feb. 17 all first-year students will take part in a technology-free day, by disconnecting from the internet and cell phones for 24 hours.
“The event is an opportunity to challenge ourselves to become more mindful of how the constant presence of certain technologies — the Web, texting, and social networking — shapes our experience of the world around us and our relationships with one another,” said Denise Schaeffer, director of Montserrat, the College’s unique program for all first-year students.
