are in a culture where we always connected, but only rarely in conversations where we give each other our full attention. I consider the importance of this kind of conversation and, as a partisan of conversation, the importance of reclaiming it. I look at
where we are in this project through the particular prism of how technology currently represents re-presents cultural images that used to be dystopian as utopian. This happens on the individual, the interpersonal, and the social level. These correspond to
Thoreau's "three chairs" of human conversation. Considering our problem through the lens of his analysis helps situate human values on ground independent from technological fantasies.</font></span></div>
