Christy Prewett and Dave Barger

It's casual and if you can't stay the entire time, NO problem.

What drives us as creatures to connect and interact with one another online? We’ll be trying to understand what drives us to these online spaces from a psychological perspective. The presentation will be "A Species Driven to Connect" from Kris Markman, Ph.D. of the University of Memphis.

Kris is an educator and researcher interested in how people use new media in their everyday lives. A former public radio professional, Kris caught the internet bug in the mid-90s and has been studying social aspects of new media since 2001. Currently she teaches courses in communication at the University of Memphis and is conducting research on independent audio podcasters.

We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be an insightful and fascinating conversation.

    • “ As always it is so much great information available. I was impressed by the information that Dr. Kris Markman provided from the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Ages and how groups are using technology. Also, I’ve just been on facebook a couple of months, but I see how Social Media and learning new technology can really impact your business. The breakout session "Facebook for Businesses" was awesome. I look forward to attending these meetings monthly. I think I am on my way to becoming an "Technology Omnivore". ”
