Session Description:
Technology is an extension of the human form. Technologies that become integral to the human form are cybernetic. The past 20 years has seen a radical reshaping in the way we use technology to interact with each other, and no where is this more evident than in the way teens of the 21st century are communicating. As this generation learns to integrate with the new communication tools at their disposal, they are quickly becoming cybernetic. Based on market research conducted by AOL, Jason will explore the rapidly changing nature of computer and human interaction amongst teens and the effect this has on what and how they learn.
