Simon Gottschalk (Sociology) recently published a chapter, “Click, Validate, Reply: Three Paradoxes of the Terminal Self" in the International Handbook of Symbolic Interactionism. He explains that our interactions require us to adjust our sensorimotor skills and perceptual aptitudes, our need for social recognition, and our emotional orientations, among others, to the digital logic. These adjustments, in turn, present us with paradoxes that we resolve by developing our terminal selves.
