[Air-L] suggestions for movies on communication technology and social change

[Deborah Lupton]

Hi Paul

What about Men, Women and Children - a rather dark look at how smartphones,
social media and online porn and hook-up culture supposedly affect social
relationships, families, marriage and sexualities.

Also Ex Machina - cyborg futures.

And do you mean Her instead of She (film about a man falling in love with
his operating system?)

Sounds like a great subject!
