Human Culture

In Search of a Right-Brained Computer is the story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I'm left-brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it.

In The Secret Life, the essayist and novelist Andrew O'Hagan issues three bulletins from the porous border between cyberspace and IRL.

Search is as old as language. There has always been a need for one to find something in the jumble of human creation. The first web was nothing more than passing verbal histories down the generations so others could find and remember how not to get eaten; the first search used the power of written language to build simple indexes in printed books, leading to the Dewey Decimal system and reverse indices in more modern times. Then digital happened.

Commonalities takes the reader through the obstacles that destroy partnerships by means of social media, mobile phones, the internet and TV. Because of over-usage of electronic devices, genuine communication skills are all but lost. Face to face verbal encounters enhance and tighten relationships through body language, facial expressions and open conversation. When texting is substituted for a real conversation then the essential emotional responses are non-existent.
