I thought this video with Courtney Act explaining gender was nicely relevant to the discussion about gender we had in CMNS 112, and super informative as well :) http://www.mtv.co.uk/life/videos/courtney-act-does-gender-101

My photo essay is a behind the scenes look at the Girl Talk Show that was put on by Passion and Performance dance studio on October 13, 2017. My photo essay can be viewed here:  Photo Essay - Passion and Performance's Girl Talk Show

I use my phone a lot and rely on it heavily. When I do not have access to my phone unexpectedly, I generally do feel panicked, anxious, and alone. I agree with Sherry Turkle’s assertion that always being connected via mobile technology leaves us more isolated. We are constantly seeking connection because mobile technology has given us a way to never be alone, although we are more alone because we are not having real human conversations, just superficial connections. My reason for agreeing is that I rely on my mobile device in times of loneliness.
