This is a trailer for... that's right... The Veldt! I read this for an essay assignment in Language Arts, and I fell in love with the story! I'm turning it into a short film soon, it's coming out this summer! EXCITEMENT!!! Edit: Sorry, everyone, but the film is being postponed.

Tea Uglow: An Internet without screens might look like this

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Designer Tea Uglow is creating a future in which humanity's love for natural solutions and simple tools can coexist with our need for information and the devices that provide us with it. "Reality is richer than screens," she says. "We can have a happy place filled with the information we love that feels as natural as switching on lightbulb."

Sherry Turkle thinks social media is one of many things in the modern technological landscape that can isolate us, make us less human, and potentially cause a lot of harm. It's in her new book, "Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other." Turkle doesn't come by this observation lightly, either.

The book is some 15 years in the making and is the result of massive amounts of research into how people use technology in (and sometimes instead of) interpersonal relationships. " Alone Together" is actually considered the third in a trilogy of books Turkle has written on the connection between people and the machines they build. She's the founder and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self.

Turkle says that there are more and more opportunities to communicate at light speed. You can get emails, texts, instant messages, Facebook messages, Twitter messages, actual phone calls, Skype. And if those messages are coming from everywhere and you feel compelled to answer them all, the content of your conversation will get dumbed down as a result, and the conversation with actual meaning -- the kind of thing that bonds us as humans -- will get chucked overboard.

As the computer becomes ubiquitous (it's not just in your home; it's in your pocket and in your car), Turkle says we need to figure out how to manage our machines and not become machines ourselves.

Also in this show, a woman in England hangs up on Apple when they call to give her a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

This is a book trailer for "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury for Mrs Keil's English 10 class. The background music is the theme from Invader Zim.

I chose this image because I feel like technology alienates us from the real world, or closes us off from it.
