I limit my use of technology, which I do find ironic being a tech writer and programmer. Turkle mentions how her and her daughter sleep with their cellphones. In our household, the very thought of this is hard to fathom. I do understand why people choose to do this, they want to remain connected - but, ironically, run the risk of potentially isolating themselves in the process. For me, I value my smartphone – but more so because of the fact that it cost money - while I may wonder where I left it at times, it is mostly due to the monetary costs associated with replacing it.
