Aviation, at its core, relies on continuous connection between the pilot and the ground as to ensure a safe environment for flight. Turkle, whom was analyzed in class, argues that children form addictions to communication if they live a 'tethered' life. In aviation, however, these 'addictions' turn into chores for most, continuously having to communicate between one-another so there are no mid-air collisions. Indeed both aviation and Turkle touch on different aspects of technology but it's worthwhile to note that on one hand communication is an essential tenet to an industry and communication is a commodity for individuals.
