face contact with. There are people in my life that I talk to and want to keep a relationship with with the help of technology...and without

I think the same. If it wasn't for the internet, I would have to pay $600 to fly back to AK to say hi to the fam

I know what you mean. It's so much easier to keep in touch with friends from home using the internet

If it werent for Technology I would not be dating Rachel most likely, well might, but technology makes it easier

technology gave you the ability to be far away from those you love + talk to + keep a relationship with.

200 yrs ago its much more likely you'd live close to them.

exile+creativity

like his life is in a certain respect a perpetual state of exile.

only read agamben's cryptic notes on Bartelby + his relation to Aristotle.

how that piece would relate to E.M. Cioran's chapter on exile in The Temptation to Exist

+ the sections on Rimbaud's self-imposed exile from poetry in Henry Miller's Time of the Assassins

of course Dante + Socrates' preference of death to exile from Athens

they're all in the same room, so to speak, but I'd need to read + reread the works to situate them correctly in relation to one another.
