The devices and media that we consume are so integrated into our lives that we often don’t even notice their presence. Moreover, we don’t consider how these digital tools are influencing us as people and as communities. My guest on today’s show is Felicia Wu Song and she shares much wisdom and insight on this issue through her book Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age.
