    Sherry Turkle argues that technology is changing how we relate to each other and ourselves in problematic ways. She believes we are sacrificing meaningful in-person conversations for superficial online connections. People have become overly reliant on technology and are afraid of real conversations that cannot be controlled or edited. Our relationships are becoming "clean" versions of themselves online rather than the rich complexity of human interaction. We are starting to expect more from technology and less from each other on an intimate level.

    Activity 5

    Here are some of the key points in Sherry Turkle's talk. Do you agree or
    disagree to these/Tell why you do or don’t in 3-4 sentences.

    1. [Fast forward to current times] We’re letting it [technology] take us


    places that we don’t want to go.

     According to Sherry Turkle, “we’re letting it take us places that we don’t want to
    go, I do agree with Sherry Turkle that the new communication technologies are
    giving us the power to sacrifice conversation for mere connection. She further
    adds that “our little devices in our pockets, are so psychologically powerful that
    they don’t only change what we do but they change who we are. They change us
    in a way that we become attached to our devices that we are lacking to have a
    person-to-person conversation with people. A person- to person conversation is
    important for every human being in order to connect with one another because
    that’s how we learn about one another and about ourselves. Through technology,
    we don’t have that connection and we, ourselves are lost within the new
    advancing technology. This eventually leads us to become less focused on our
    work.

    2. Being together while not being together

     I agree because we are setting ourselves up for trouble in how we relate to each
    other but also trouble in how we relate to ourselves in our capacity for self-
    reflection. We’re getting used to a new way of being alone together.

    3. People are afraid of conversation because it’s in real time and you can’t
    control what you say, you can’t edit/delete/retouch

     I agreed because we have words or things that can be said that are unpleasant
    or hurtful to the feelings of every person we talk to. and other people have
    different thoughts that sometimes they can't control every word they say. others
    have the ability or control over what they have to say to someone, these are
    people who care about other people who think about what they are going to say
    before saying it because they are afraid to say something hurtful to someone.
    4. Human relationships are rich and messy and demanding, and we
    clean them up with technology. When we do, we sacrifice
    conversation for mere connection.

    5. We expect more from technology, and less from each other.

     I agreed because technology appeals to us when we are most vulnerable. We


    expect more from technology and less from each other because we’re afraid of
    intimacy. Social Media or technology addiction is a real phenomenon in this
    generation. and people have more confidence in technology because it has been
    proven to be reliable and it has also been proven a lot, one of which is that it is
    able to give an answer to every human question. Some would rather spend time
    online on their social media, updating their posts rather than talking face to face
    with their family and real friends. But any addiction is harmful as it keeps you
    away from real activities in school, family, and community. And it is especially
    important now that there is a pandemic. because technology is the only way for
    students to continue their education in today's pandemic.
