Lunch at CAFÉ BAKLAVA MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT
341 CASTRO STREET, MOUNTAIN VIEW
Roberto J. González
March 13th at 11:45 AM
Social Media: Addictive by Design
Roberto J. González, a sociocultural anthropologist, is chair of the anthropology department at San Jose State University. His work focuses upon science, technology and society; militarism and culture; humans and their relationship to the environment; and anthropological ethics.
His books include Zapotec Science: Farming and Food in the Northern Sierra of Oaxaca (2001), American Counterinsurgency: Human Science and the Human Terrain (2009), and Militarizing Culture: Essays on the Warfare State (2010).
Professor González will discuss his recent op-ed piece in the San Jose
Mercury News about how technology can trigger behavioral addictions, and how the debut of Facebook’s ‘Messenger Kids’ (target audience of 6 to 12 year old children) is an attempt to get children hooked on social media as early as possible.

1. Chicken/Beef Kabob, rice, vegetables: $16
2. Chicken/Beef/Lamb Kabob, rice, vegetables: $22
3. Greek Salad: $20
Price includes Turkish tea, bread and dipping sauce.
There is no charge for showing up if you don't want to eat lunch.
