Sinossi
Viviamo in un mondo che sempre più sacrifica i piaceri e i benefici della conversazione sull'altare delle tecnologie digitali. Parliamo con un amico, ma nel frattempo diamo più di un'occhiata allo smartphone, e spesso i nostri figli si lagnano se non hanno tra le mani un dispositivo elettronico. Viviamo costantemente in un altrove digitale. Ma per capire chi siamo, per comprendere appieno il mondo che ci circonda, per crescere, per amare ed essere amati, dobbiamo saper conversare. La perdita della capacità di parlare "faccia a faccia" con gli altri - con empatia, imparando nel contempo a sopportare solitudine e inquietudini - rischia di ridurre le nostre capacità di riflessione e concentrazione, portandoci, nei casi estremi, a stati di dissociazione psichica e cognitiva. In questo libro, frutto di anni di interviste e di indagini sul campo, Sherry Turkle, "l'antropologa del cyber-spazio", sottolinea le insidie e gli effetti delle appendici tecnologiche che ci circondano nella società e nella nostra vita quotidiana, per far sì che ognuno ridiventi padrone di se stesso, senza farsene acriticamente dominare.

Recensioni
I'm not a fan of Turkle. I've read her previous book and seen her TED Talks. I find she comes to egregious conclusions about how people interact with scant evidence. In this book, she argues that people are growing incapable of talking or having sophisticated conversations and that it's largely our
I'm always conflicted about Sherry's books. She admits that she only studies a particular behavior, leaving out all of the other things that people do. So for this book, it was studying the ways that people use their phones to avoid conversations with others in person. Which is interesting, and she
I desperately wanted to like this book but the author goes around in circles. Every chapter is the same: people bring their phone to the dinner table and it kills conversation; people argue through text and it kills empathy; people can't live without their phones and don't know what to do in moments Leggi tutto
This book is basically an expanded version of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains . Carr wrote his work in 2010, and Turkle wrote this in 2015. I learned things from both books, but ultimately both could have been better. Turkle takes Carr's ideas and puts an emphasis on how the te Leggi tutto
This is a must read for those who own a device with a screen, a life with stories behind a screen- with a window into it through social media- and who have people in their life (in the same room!) with stories of their own to share. Some good quotes: "Technology enchants; it makes us forget what we
Put down your mobile phone and close your laptop, if you can. Our increasing reliance on non-verbal, virtual communications is not just altering how we work, it's fundamentally undermining how children learn empathy and transforming how families manage conflict. I'm not sure if I completely agree wi Leggi tutto
I just feel like she went in with a forgone conclusion, did no real research, and then strung together tiny bits of data and stories to back up her preconceived bias.
I want to come back and expand my thoughts. My mind is aswirl with quotes and thoughts and applications. "This is our paradox. When were are apart: hypervigilance. When we are together: inattention." http://alivingpencil.com/2016/01/07/r...
