“Connected, But Alone” by Sherry Turkle

Sherry Turkle’s main points were that technology has moved in a bad direction. We are at the point where we prefer texting over conversation and that people use technology to feel connected to others even though they are alone. I thought her points do make sense and that sometimes people prefer texting over conversation although that is not the same for everyone as I do prefer talking to people face to face rather than over text or call. I only text or call someone to talk when we are not able to see each other at the moment. I feel that both combine to strengthen relationships. I do understand that it has leaned towards the side of preferring to text rather than conversation. The visuals in the presentation with the solid screen with a few words that lasted for a few minutes stuck with me as it was the time that made you reflect on your life and implied her points on yourself. It made her talk have a deeper meaning.
