    Good luck

    Just a question though: do you have a lot of qualitative-oriented courses? Interested to know how american universities tackle the whole quantitative vs. qualitative studies these days.

    EDIT: Oh, as the above poster gave you links, I'd suggest you see Sherry Turckle's work as well. She studies how technology is shaping our modern relationships: with others, with ourselves, with it.
    (Turkle is a professor in the Program in Science, Technology and Society at MIT and the founder and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self.)

    TED Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turk..._together.html
    Her most recent book (exposed in the talk above): http://alonetogetherbook.com
    The premise of this book is that “We expect more from technology and less from each other.” Quite an enlightening read from someone who used to be among the most enthusiastic about the whole digital revolution, back in the 90's.
