??In a time in which the ways we communicate and connect are constantly changing, and not always for the better, Sherry Turkle provides a much needed voice of caution and reason to help explain what the f*** is going on.? ??Aziz Ansari, author of Modern Romance Renowned media scholar Sherry Turkle investigates how a flight from conversation undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity??and why reclaiming face-to-face conversation can help us regain lost ground.
We live in a technological universe in which we are always communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.
Preeminent author and researcher Sherry Turkle has been studying digital culture for over thirty years. Long an enthusiast for its possibilities, here she investigates a troubling consequence: at work, at home, in politics, and in love, we find ways around conversation, tempted by the possibilities of a text or an email in which we don??t have to look, listen, or reveal ourselves.
We develop a taste for what mere connection offers. The dinner table falls silent as children compete with phones for their parents?? attention. Friends learn strategies to keep conversations going when only a few people are looking up from their phones. At work, we retreat to our screens although it is conversation at the water cooler that increases not only productivity but commitment to work. Online, we only want to share opinions that our followers will agree with ?? a politics that shies away from the real conflicts and solutions of the public square.
The case for conversation begins with the necessary conversations of solitude and self-reflection. They are endangered: these days, always connected, we see loneliness as a problem that technology should solve. Afraid of being alone, we rely on other people to give us a sense of ourselves, and our capacity for empathy and relationship suffers. We see the costs of the flight from conversation everywhere: conversation is the cornerstone for democracy and in business it is good for the bottom line. In the private sphere, it builds empathy, friendship, love, learning, and productivity.
But there is good news: we are resilient. Conversation cures.
Based on five years of research and interviews in homes, schools, and the workplace, Turkle argues that we have come to a better understanding of where our technology can and cannot take us and that the time is right to reclaim conversation. The most human??and humanizing??thing that we do.
The virtues of person-to-person conversation are timeless, and our most basic technology, talk, responds to our modern challenges. We have everything we need to start, we have each other. Turkle's latest book, The Empathy Diaries (3/2/21)… (meer)
Turkle affronta il tema sulla scorta del suo approccio riconoscibile e consolidato (vedi il precedente Alone Together), arricchendo il libro di testimonianze "sul campo" e fornendo una buona panoramica basata su osservazioni di buon senso. Il discorso è tuttavia spesso ridondante e i riferimenti alla saggistica più recente suonano d'obbligo ma poco utili al libro in sé. ( )
While I really wanted to get into this, and I'm sure it has some valuable principles for taking control of your socialization, I found the first few chapters too repetitive. Also, there are a lot of anecdotes about the way people interact (or don't) when technology is dividing their attention, but they feel unnecessary at this point in time. Isn't it a universal experience to notice people staring at their phones in restaurants, or texting people they live in the same household with? So it feels like those moments don't need to be narrated in detail anymore... if you're at all concerned about technology's impact on your life, you're already somewhat well aware of the pitfalls. I just wasn't up for reading more of the same.
Interesting criticisms of the book here seem to maintain that, indeed, technology can help us communicate. In my experience that is a very limited communication. I see parents at the park with their children, not interacting with them or talking to them, but on the phone. I see them at dinner, each person with his or her own device, not communicating. Her most compelling arguments are regarding business and medicine. Facebook and Twitter and all the rest have simply allowed people to hide behind anonymity for their nasty little comments. These apps are not about communicating with others, but to them. I am by no means a Luddite; I have a Kindle, a "smartphone" and a tablet as well as a regular computer. Nonetheless, I find Turkel's arguments compelling and her style engaging. I would say this is required reading for the 21st century. ( )
A thoughtful, knowledgeable, well-researched book published in 2015 that anticipates many of the issues we face when we try to multi-task, avoid uncomfortable conversation, and engage with technology as if the objects we engage with are human. The author bases the argument on many interviews and a long history of working with schools, corporations, and universities around technological issues, and finishes with a thoughtful discussion of the pitfalls of engaging with robots and simulations in preference to engaging with other human beings, as if those artificial constructs were more human than actual humans. The book is already dated in 2019, of course (Facebook turned out to be even worse than she anticipated), and she has a utopian view of the nature of family conversations that betrays a certain amount of privileged nostalgia, but it asks many important questions.
Perhaps the only gap in the book for me was a more thorough discussion of the neurological reasons why (for instance) children who are on their smart phones all the time might be less empathic, or why we might seek out multitasking even though we never get better at it and it impairs performance drastically; to me, the big problem with our embrace of technology is its incompatibility with the weird, wonderful, complex, mysterious human brain and the way it operates. ( )
Very well written. Eye opening view of how we converse (or not) with each physically and with technology. How we have all changed and are still changing. Somewhat gloomy view of where we have gotten with our lives/technology, but knowledge is power. And this book will help you think. ( )

Why a book on conversation? We're talking all the time. We text and post and chat. We may even begin to feel more at home in the world of our screens. Among family and friends, among colleagues and lovers, we turn to our phones instead of each other. We readily admit we would rather send an electronic message or mail than commit to a face-to-face meeting or a telephone call. -The Empathy Diaries
