Put Down the Phone and Learn to Be Alone (And to Listen), Says Sherry Turkle at TED
"We constantly text and social network so we don’t have to feel lonely,
but while peering into our phones we’re ignoring the people and the
world around us. That’s a serious problem, one that should be addressed
by technologists, regulators and norms, according to psychologist Sherry
Turkle."
"All this time spent communicating digitally gives us “the illusion of
companionship without the demands of friendship,” Turkle said. “If we’re
not able to be alone, we’re going to be more lonely.”"
