1139: Mooch and Stoll
Depth Versus Shallowness in Digital Communication
Cliff Stoll explains his preference for deep research over the "interrupt-driven" nature of Twitter and email. He shares a personal example of making plum jam to share with neighbors, noting that such physical community acts cannot be replicated online. Stoll argues that spending excessive time on a computer leads to a shallow life, whereas real fulfillment comes from depth with a few close relatives and friends.
