Research suggests over and over again that people are
using mobile devices and social media to
connect more with others, even face to face. The
technologies of isolation and loneliness were the automobile
and the television, and even though we’re starting to see a
reversal of the long term rise in social isolation , there
continues to be cultural insecurity around
loneliness. Which is understandable, but misplacing
our worries on one of the few trends that is
pushing back against isolation isn’t helpful.

Tell that to Chris Avenir
Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation
for online behavior and that makes it
incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic
integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by certified
persons, it’s not valid.

I’m appearing to accept an
odious premise—namely,
that joy must be justified as
a means to the end of
better academic
performance. Not so:
It’s an end in itself.
