Air date: Jan 04, 2010

One thing is certain about human nature...we're born talkers. Our urge to communicate is universal. And now with modern technology we can meet anybody... anywhere... at anytime. Today our means for communication are endless: twelve billion text messages are sent worldwide every day. Thirteen million Canadians are Facebook users. And the number of personal computers in use around the globe is expected to double in the next four years. But is all this access to technology actually making our lives better? Are We Digital Dummies? takes a hard look at how computers and the latest cell phone technology affect our families and our co-workers in addition to our own lives.
