This document promotes a book by Julie M. Albright that examines how younger generations are becoming "untethered" from traditional social structures like religion, marriage, and long-term careers due to technology facilitating disconnectedness. The author questions the effects of weakened connections to people, places, and institutions and what it means to be human when hyper-connected digitally but disconnected socially.

1. In this eye-opening book, digital
sociologist Julie M. Albright looks at
the many ways in which younger
people, facilitated by technology,
are coming "untethered" from
traditional aspirations and ideals,
and asks: What are the effects of
being disconnected from traditional,
stabilizing social structures like
churches, marriage, political parties,
and long-term employment?
What does it mean to be human
when one's ties to people, places,
jobs, and societal institutions are
weakened or broken, displaced by
digital hyper-connectivity?
