ABSTRACT
Prof. Danielle George suggests that there is a large “maker” community thinking hard about new life for old gadgets and that the generation of young people has an expanding landscape of technology with which to be creative. Technology has nurtured our addiction to constant change. The human body is a perfect organism whose senses serve to guide, inform, protect, and enrich our lives while ensuring our survival. It is important to question if we are amputating our senses through our dependence on technology. While technology has its benefits as a tool for connection and information access, Craig fears that constant immersion in virtual worlds is causing people to lose all sense of what is real and reduces human connectivity and productivity. He believes that a meditation practice can help people distinguish noise versus signal and counter the anxiety and disorienting disconnection that technology produces in our increasingly faster-paced world.
