Philosophy Wire: Tsunami and the coldness of TV. Does technology make us inhuman?

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-03-12]: Tsunami struck Japan with hundrends of people dead. We all watched the waves take away cars, houses, trains and ships. We all watched stunned. But none of us understood. None of us understood that we were watching people dying in live connection... Does TV brings us closer? Or does it drive us so far apart that we cannot even feel anything for each other?

No pictures. No videos.
