Thanks for the link. Interesting vignettes!

Ian, my thanks as well. Ironically, one of the evocative objects that move me are books! I have lots and lots of them; one of the one's I consider seminal in my in life was Sherry Turkle's The Second Self.

I was reading it on the day I proposed to my wife.

Sherry Turkle is also the author of the study listed.

Cheers.
