If anyone's in New York tomorrow, Steve Johnson will be talking with Sherry Turkle (author of Alone Together) at The New York Public Library.
Tickets are 25 bucks, 15 for students, but I'll try to get a block for SFC if anyone's interested. http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2012/10/03/steven-johnson-conversation-sherry-turkle On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 7:51 PM, Jennifer Baek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > For those of you who are unable to attend this event, it is being recorded > and will be published on the Personal Democracy > website<http://personaldemocracy.com/>(hopefully by tomorrow).
