Literary Mama Rewind: Technology

By Amanda Jaros

Welcome to Literary Mama Rewind! Every few weeks we’ll round up some of our favorite essays, stories, poems, columns and reviews from the Literary Mama archives relating to a particular theme. We live in a veritable digital wonderland of screens, and they are often both a blessing and a curse. How does technology play into the lives of mothers and our digital-age children? This month’s collection aims to answer that.

  • Selfie Love by Marjorie Osterhout from the Column Dear Marjo

  • Missing Links by Stephanie Hunt from the Column Great Green Room
    Even so, I love that back to school feeling, the scent of promise, that unmistakable mix of pencil shavings, chalk dust and Lysol in the air. The school hallways gleam with freshly waxed floors, the classrooms are clean and clutter-free, and the principal is all smiles as she stands by the newly decked out computer lab, thrilled to show off the school’s new Macs.

 

  • Op-Ed: Don’t Let Social Media Make You Feel Inadequate by Wendy Hassett on the Blog
    Online, we gain little glimpses into the lives of others, feeling a part of everything from major life events like births and weddings to the mundane and the trivial.

 

  • A Conversation with Shebooks’ Editorial Director Laura Fraser by Lisa Lynne Lewis in Profiles
    Shebooks’ online catalog includes a mix of fiction, memoir, and journalism, with each e-book designed to be read in one to two hours. Fraser recently spoke with Lisa Lynne Lewis about the company’s first year of operation, the need to boost visibility for women writers, and the influence of Eat, Pray, Love.
