Human Connection

Our culture’s dependency on technology to work, eat, learn, govern, be entertained, and stay in touch underscores that digitally mediated experiences already profoundly shape our understanding of what it means to be human. To explore this deeply, Aspen Digital, with support from Pivotal Ventures, sought to reimagine how technology can shape the human experience and our sense of place.

Aspen Digital is taking a leap to reimagine how technology can shape our well-being and sense of place. The Virtually Human Working Group, composed of 24 thought-leaders across industry, research, civil society, and academia, seeks to better understand the cumulative effects of continuous and ubiquitous technology interaction on our human connections.
