Ambient Awareness

Hi, I was randomly going through the Internet and ran across this article in the NYT about ambient awareness. For anyone who doesn't know what this is, you should. living in the Facebook, Myspace, twitter and all together virtual world that we live in now, it is quite important to be aware of what you are a part of. The article is primarily about Facebook and twitter but from a psychological aspect, going into the emotional attachment that people have and how your emotional limits get tested as well as making the Dunbar number void. Dunbar was an anthropologist who said the limit of a regular persons friends and acquaintances is normally 150. the Internet seems to change all that. anyways, the article obviously explains it much better then i do. do check it out.... go
