[Sci-tech-public] STS faculty on PBS "Frontlne"

[David Mindell]

Hi all,

A very interesting PBS "Frontline" aired last night on digital distraction
and multitasking, featuring profiles of MIT students and the insights of our
colleagues Sherry Turkle, David Jones, and Henry Jenkins. Very apropos for
the first week of classes. 

You can see the video here:
