Watched a screening today of Connected at the 2011 Martha's Vineyard International Film Festival.
The documentary is by Tiffany Schlain, founder of the Webby Awards, who posits that technology's connectedness promises to make people more engaged and "interdependent" than ever before.
I found the documentary entertaining, but light in scientific and intellectual rigor. Others, like Nicholas Carr and Carl Safina examine the issues of technology, population growth and mankind's and the planet's future more thoughtfully and, frankly, with less starry-eyed optimism.
