Alone Together, Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other
Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other
Book •
In "Alone Together," Sherry Turkle explores the paradox of how technology, designed to connect us, can lead to feelings of isolation.
Turkle argues that our constant connection to digital devices diminishes our capacity for genuine human interaction.
She examines how relationships formed online, particularly through social media and robotics, lack the depth and complexity of face-to-face communication.
The book delves into the impact of technology on identity, intimacy, and solitude in an increasingly digital world.
Turkle highlights the importance of reclaiming real-world connections and fostering empathy in an age dominated by virtual interactions.
Ultimately, "Alone Together" serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of technology's pervasive influence on our lives.
