Sounds like an interesting book--I will definitely have to check it out. I'm not sure the intranets narrows my social interaction, though (?). .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Ring In the New Year with Reading =-.

This does sound like a very interesting read, and one that my husband would probably enjoy too. I have never really thought about this subject, but your review has made me curious enough to pick up this book. Great review! I will be keeping an eye out for it. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Company of Liars by Karen Maitland - 480 pgs =-.

This definitely sounds very interesting. I don't think some of the changes he seems to be suggesting are bad things, just something we all need to adjust to! .-= Nish´s last blog ..Peony in Love – My Last Book Review of 2009 =-.

You mean computers aren't a necessity? LOL I have definitely seen the shift in the use of computers and how much more dependent we are on them today. Thank you for the great review, Meghan. .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Review: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak =-.

Great review! I definitely agree about the narrowing rather than broadening of horizons. .-= rhapsodyinbooks´s last blog ..Review of Kristin Lavransdatter, Volume III: The Cross, by Sigrid Undset and translated by Tiina Nunnally =-.

This sounds like an important book and I can see why it made it to Newsweek's list. Have you read any of the Thomas Friedman books? .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Review: Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian =-.
