| What can the way we interact with technology teach us about the way we interact with each other? In this segment, Ira talks with Clifford Nass, professor of communications at Stanford and author of the new book 'The Man Who Lied to his Laptop.' We'll talk about how people communicate with other people, with the technology they use, and how both can be improved. |
