A joy to read!

What an entertaining, refreshing, and thought-provoking read! The premise of Kristina's book is that our expanding techno-modes of communicating--ranging from e-mail to IMs to texting--have indeed changed the way we approach relationships, but if these techno-driven relationships are to succeed, they need to be as equally stimulating in their non-electronic forms. This book provides a bird's eye view of just how much techno-relating has permeated our lives. (How did we ever communicate without e-mail and cell phones anyway?) It also provides a nice reminder that all the techno-relating in the world can't replace the need we all have for real, live human connection.
