Our modern connected lives

Here was a an interview with social scientist Nicholas Christakis from TED.com. Its rather lengthy but has many good opinions on social interconnection, mental and physical evolution of humans through connection, the new definition of "friends", etc. It gets especially interesting about 1/2 way through the interview. Some I do and dont agree with, but a good article on modernization.

Here is his book Connected: The surprising Power of our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives . It recieved a top 25 in Social Psychology & Interactions on Amazon.com
