Sherri Turkle, a psychologist appears on a
Ted Talk of what technology is doing to society. Texting, emailing and social
media are replacing real life conversations and connecting with people in a
real way. It made me look at my own life and consider the real information she
shared about having human relationships. Interestingly she shared how
technology creates an illusion that we think we are connecting with people by
having conversations digitally. But by actually having real conversations we
learn about ourselves and other people. Technology provides good information. But
we need to know how and when to use it.
