Join us for the next lecture of the 2013-14 Laurier Milton Lecture Series, The Incidence of Screens: an Extension of Human Abilities or a Historic Distraction? with Dr. Anthony Cristiano.
This lecture aims to provide critical answers to the conundrums posed by contemporary digital media. People are magnetized by the incidence of screens, placed around them or available on ubiquitous mobile devices, so much so that their engagement with and concentration on the physical surrounding appears to wane drastically. Does the use of Internet and digital mobile devices enhance or hinder our human abilities and how so? Are the new trends connecting or fragmenting our society? How are we to understand and approach the new (virtual) reality within the allegedly progressive direction of human history?
Date: Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Time: 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Milton Centre for the Arts, MinMaxx Hall
