Statement:
Over the past decade, communication technology has changed our culture
in both good and bad ways. People now routinely send and receive emails
regardless of time or location – a fact that allowed me to coordinate
30 people in my first film. ° Yet this growing connectivity has an ironic side
effect: it pulls us away from our connections in the here and now. My
friend interrupts a heart-to-heart talk with me to take an important
call. While I'm trying to watch a movie, someone next to me plays with
a glowing PDA. ° Maybe ten years from
now most of us will watch films wearing special glasses and wireless
headphones, joined only by a few friends in our living rooms. If so,
technology will have changed our culture once again – for better and
for worse. ° Whatever thoughts Totally Connected spark in you, I
hope they come with grins - and that you're able to dodge any
cell-phone talking, headset-wearing drivers who GPS-navigate your way.
