Once our eyes readjust from the enchanting glow cast by our constant screenal companions, we begin to see Turkle’s point: the quality and depth of our ‘real time’ relationships with our children, parents, lovers, friends, colleagues, and students has changed over the last decade, and not altogether for the better.ĭrawing on ethnographic, sociological, and technological research conducted over a period of 15 years, Turkle describes a present and future in which increasingly sophisticated robots stand in for living beings in our intimate relationships. Sherry Turkle’s new book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other (Basic Books, 2011), asks us to stop for a moment, put down our smart phones, step away from our email, and consider the effects of digital technologies and robotics on our current and future interpersonal relationships. Alone Together: A Meditation on the Future of Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age
