I found it interesting that Eric doesn't have a computer. I believe that digital media, social networking, location-based technologies are all about embodiment. We care, want to know about other bodies, we want that knowledge and people indulge us by saying what their body is doing - sharing presence/grounding/bodyspace "I'm having a latte" "Phillip is at Starbucks on main street". "Lying in bed watching a movie from iTunes". Thanks. I found it interesting that Eric doesn’t have a computer.

It's kind of odd however that he would make the bold (and a little romantic) statement that "Bodies are no longer relevant." We are absolutely embodied, and it is totally relevant and that becomes even more apparent, I would argue, in an electronic age. The quickening of time and shrinking of space doesn't change the basics of our situations. All we need to think of is how many twitters are about what someone is going to eat, or where someone is. It matters! :) Nice post Phillip.
