Louis C.K. and Our Buddy Sherry Turkle

WARNING: The following link contains very strong language that may be considered -- no, should be considered -- somewhat offensive. To most.

Around the 1:17 marker of the bit titled "Other People's Kids" by one of my favorites, Louis C.K., he starts tapping into a little bit of Turkle's "Always On" article.

Louie has a pretty polarizing style of comedy (if you're sensitive to certain offensive words, maybe stay away; he aims to entertain through casually-delivered shocks), but I'm definitely a slappy for the guy. I would recommend checking out the whole track, but there's at least one solid minute of concerns of media-saturation and stimulation that relates back to Turkle. Enjoy!
