Salon: Sherry Turkle on her book Reclaiming Conversation

Presented by Providence Athenaeum at Providence Athenaeum

Turkle has been studying digital culture for over thirty years. Long an enthusiast for its possibilities, 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. 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.
