"[Sherry] Turkle believes that the pandemic is a 'liminal' (jb link) time, in the phrasing of the writer and anthropologist Victor Turner, a time in which we are 'betwixt and between,' a catastrophe with a built-in opportunity to reinvent. 'In these liminal periods are these possibilities for change,' she said.' I think we are living through a time, both in our social lives but also in how we deal with our technology, where we are willing to think of very different ways of behaving.'”
