November 2009 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Chicago Humanities Festival, and to celebrate, your trusty gremlins here at Fort Humane have been busy fashioning something special, a season entirely given over to the theme of Laughter.
Not "Happiness," mind you: happiness is smug and bland and self-satisfied. Laughter, on the other hand, runs the gamut: from blithe to bitter, raucous to subdued, fond to angry, knowing to clueless, high to low, broad to pinprick-specific. Its history wends back past Aristophanes and Job (the comedy of suffering, after all) on up through Mozart and Molière, and then right up to the present—please understand that around here we think of Samuel Beckett as one of the funniest playwrights of the 20th century. There are all the different ethnic and cultural shadings of laughter: African American, Jewish, Irish, Russian, Persian, Chinese, Latino, and on and on—each with its own knotty tradition, and its airy cross-pollinations.

If you’ve ever lost your smartphone, as I have, you know it can feel like a death. The experience highlights just how our world has been engulfed by social media and how our technology has become a vital organ of our being. And it's happened so fast. Facebook is not quite 10 years old, Twitter is younger still. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg told a reporter that in 2016 -- just three years from now -- “people are going to be sharing eight to ten times as much stuff.” Like anything hurtling us forward at breakneck speed, the advancements are great, and so are the dangers.
Our devices change not only what we do but also who we are. A professor at MIT and Director of that school’s Initiative on Technology and Self, she’s written several important books based on deep research and hundreds of interviews with children and adults alike.
