>
> CONFERENCE THEME: "Connectedness and Alienation: The 21st Century Enigma"
> Being connected through social networking sites has become an accepted
> form of communication in today's digitalized world. People can spend hours
> a day talking on mobile phones, on Skype, or on the Internet, which gives
> the impression that we are a more connected world than ever before. And
> communication is lauded. Because of the massive information flow we can
> call ourselves perhaps the most connected age in history. But is this
> connectedness, however, real or illusory?
>
> Quantity of communication does not guarantee quality. For example, to many
> sensitive people, when they call a number and hear the words "Please
> listen to the following options" the sense of connectedness suddenly
> becomes alienating. The crude mechanics entailed can make people feel
> suspicious, isolated, and even threatened by an invisible structure they
> cannot penetrate.
>
> A raft of serious existential issues arises out of this. What impact does
> this have on the self whose identity in the time/space continuum, in the
> rapidly changing environment, and in these manufactured structures,
> depends for its development on interaction with perceived reality? What
> becomes the definition of the human? And what of the awareness of the
> transcendent in the human spirit from which ethics and aesthetics depend
> for their existence? Far from being questions of the present moment, these
> are parameters that will dominate the central problem of human
> self-understanding as we progress further into the uncharted waters of a
> highly uncertain future.
