The End Of Absence

Michael Harris

The connected life is just great… with a smartphone nearby, we need never be fully "away" from friends and loved ones. Sigh.

Writer Michael Harris says there's a unique opportunity for people of the "straddle generation." These are the people who can remember the time before full connectivity, when we might have daydreamed more or even got bored.  Harris riffs on the situation in his book "The End of Absence."
