FutureShock/TextMeBack
The Enosinian Society will commence session Wednesday, October 21st at 8:00PM in the Honors Building 714 21st St. NW to debate,
Resolved: Ubiquitous connectivity is destroying individualism
Proposition Speaker: Steve Glinert, Esteemed Member
Opposition Speaker: Dan Fogarty, Esteemed Member
Technological innovations and the age of the internet have torn down barriers and tightened societies. But in this new digital information era, individuals have sacrificed a high degree of their privacy and have opened up their lives to the world for the sake of constant connectivity. Have Google, Facebook, and Twitter allowed society to come closer together, cross literal and figurative borders, and enhance our personal happiness? Or have these tools simply led to a gradual yet serious erosion of that which we claim to hold dear: our individualism? Join us Wednesday, October 21st at 8PM as the Enosinian Society debates whether ubiquitous connectivity is strengthening personal identity or destroying individualism.
See you there!
