Reclaiming Conversation When we replace human caregivers with robots, or talking with texting, we begin by arguing that the replacements are “better than nothing,” but end up considering them “better than anything” — cleaner, less risky, less demanding. Paralleling this shift is a growing preference for the virtual over the real. Human beings are flawed and forgetful, needy and unpredictable, in ways that machines are wired not to be. What are we losing in our ever hurried race to adapt technology to our lives, and more importantly, how do we get it back? Using Sherry Turkle’s ‘Reclaiming Conversation’ as a starting point, this lecture will look at ways to rediscover our messy, wonderful, non-automated selves. 5/5 #164010-Q #164010-R Rosemary Irwin

issues that every individual faces during a lifetime. Through his characters—lively, funny, a bit lost or wounded, yet resilient and hopeful—Seaburn tackles subjects like: how do we make relationships work? Who can we trust and love? What is the impact of loss on our lives? How do we use the time allotted to us, even though we have no idea how much time we actually have? “I think that we are always wrestling with these questions; we are always looking for answers,” Seaburn says. “It’s through this process that we make sense of our lives and give them meaning. Mr. Seaburn is a former minister and longtime marriage and family therapist, so this a fascinating addition to a book discussion. The novel was one of the finalists in CITY Newspaper’s Best of 2015. 5/26 #364010-C #364010-D David B. Seaburn

With texts selected by noted restaurant critic Mimi Sheraton, this series will explore an aspect of our culture that often gets taken for granted: food. Food provides both nourishment and pleasure, of course, but under the surface of each meal lies a series of complex interactions and entanglements. In six sessions covering history, science, politics, and ground breaking and humorous fiction, we will explore one of the most important issues in our lives. Reading material will be available at the Recreation office prior to the 5/2 registration. #363510-A 5/13 - 6/17 F - 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Penfield Community Center Rosemary Irwin Free (registration required)
