Earlier this month, R2i Seattle hosted a pre-screening event for Tiffany Shlain's Sundance-award winning film, "Connected: An Autoblogography About Love, Death & Technology." The film delves into what it means to be connected in the 21st century. The internet and mobile technology have allowed us to learn and share more than ever before, and have conditioned us to desire and consume information at a quicker pace. Connectivity through technology has inherently affected the way we work, play and interact. After the screening we surveyed our guests on their thoughts about connectivity. Their answers are summed up in this infographic
