3. DIGITAL
BRAINS
Humans, they warn,
seem to be developing
digital brains with new
circuits for skimming
through the torrent of
information online. I
worry that the
superficial way we read
during the day is
affecting us when we
have to read with more
in-depth processing.

4. DIGITAL
LIFE
We're spending so much
time touching, pushing,
linking, scrolling, and
jumping through text that
when we sit down with a
novel, your daily habits of
jumping, clicking, linking is
just ingrained in you.[8]

5. "We have been seduced by distraction. We
are being pulled away from paying attention
to the things that enrich our lives." [1]

6. So hard to resist the life that the
social-media machine has created
for us, one in which we are both
consumer and producer, sharing
generously of our own creative
energy and expanding our
attention in a self-nourishing
loop...[1]

7. VIRTUAL LIFE
Collecting Twitter followers is like a virtual pat on
the back. Checking Facebook in the middle of the
day can be energyzing and mood=boosting. [1]

We live in a time of
multicommunicating,
where no one person gets
personal attention for
long. It is the
institutionalization of
rudeness and with the
healthy growth of
smartphone usage in
Canada - 47% own one
now, up from 34% in 2012 -
it is only going to get
worse...[2]

9. MULTI-
COMMUNICATING
Some people interpret it differently, and the ones
that like to focus on one task get offended quite
quickly, It's important to know how the people you
work with like to communicate.[2]

10. PRACTICAL ADVICE OF
MULTICOMMUNICATING
It is a practice that can be useful at times and detrimental at others.
Therefore, it is important to train employees so they will be able to
use multiconmmunication when it will be most qpproriate and
effective. [9]
-Michelle Toelle

such as learning, safety, and staying connected to

16. IMPACT ON
TEENS
" Social media is becoming more than
just a part of their world, it's
becoming their world. Social media
has allowed them to take their life
online and instead of saying goodbye
to their friends at school and waiting
to see them the next day, they just go
home and jump on their favourite
social media network... [5]

17. "Many teens today are not comfortable
enough to engage in physical sexual
activity in person with someone, but are
more than comfortable to participate in
sexual activity online." [5]
EVEN MORE...

19. Social network can
provide the illusion
of companionship
without the
demands of
friendship, without
the demands of
intimacy... [7]

20. People shut themselves out of the
real world, and miss out on
important events, such as their best
friend winning as award, or their
baby first walking. [7]

21. Seeking for ourselves in a cold
high-tech era...
Where is our next stop?
What is the new definition of our
being?
Hope we can figure out some day.
