Sherry Turkle Quotes

Computers brought philosophy into everyday life Picture Quote #1

The idea of the original had no place Picture Quote #1

We’re lonely, but we’re afraid of intimacy Picture Quote #1

It used to be that people had a way of dealing with the world that was basically, ‘I have a feeling, I want to make a call.’ Now I would capture a way of dealing with the world, which is: ‘I want to have a feeling, I need to send a text.’ Picture Quote #1

We are inhibited from aggression by the presence of another face, another person. We’re aware that we’re with a human being. On the Internet, we are disinhibited from taking into full account that we are in the presence of another human being Picture Quote #1

I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I’m a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day Picture Quote #1

One thing is certain: the riddle of mind, long a topic for philosophers, has taken on new urgency. Under pressure from the computer, the question of mind in relation to machine is becoming a central cultural preoccupation. It is becoming for us what sex was to the Victorians--threat and obsession, taboo and fascination Picture Quote #1

The most used program in computers and education is PowerPoint. What are you learning about the nature of the medium by knowing how do to a great PowerPoint presentation? Nothing. It certainly doesnt teach you how to think critically about living in a culture of simulation Picture Quote #1

Teenagers talk about the idea of having each other’s ‘full attention.’ They grew up in a culture of distraction. They remember their parents were on cell phones when they were pushed on swings as toddlers. Now, their parents text at the dinner table and don’t look up from their BlackBerry when they come for end-of-school day pickup Picture Quote #1

Human relationships are rich and they’re messy and they’re demanding. And we clean them up with technology. And when we do, one of the things that can happen is that we sacrifice conversation for mere connection. We short-change ourselves. And over time, we seem to forget this, or we seem to stop caring Picture Quote #1

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent! Picture Quote #1

It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy Picture Quote #1

As we distribute ourselves, we may abandon ourselves Picture Quote #1

Computers are not good or bad; they are powerful Picture Quote #1

Not every advance is progress. Not every new thing is better for us humanly Picture Quote #1

Teenagers would rather text than talk. They feel calls would reveal too much Picture Quote #1

We... heal ourselves by giving others what we most need Picture Quote #1

We expect more from technology and less from each other Picture Quote #1

We are not as strong as technology’s pull Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is failed solitude Picture Quote #1

Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies Picture Quote #1

What technology makes easy is not always what nurtures the human spirit Picture Quote #1

We all really need to listen to each other, including to the boring bits Picture Quote #1

If we’re not able to be alone, we’re going to be more lonely. And if we don’t teach our children to be alone, they’re only going to know how to be lonely Picture Quote #1

Because you can text while doing something else, texting does not seem to take time but to give you time. This is more than welcome; it is magical Picture Quote #1

We’re smitten with technology. And we’re afraid, like young lovers, that too much talking might spoil the romance. But it’s time to talk Picture Quote #1

We’re lonely, but we’re afraid of intimacy. And so from social networks to sociable robots, we’re designing technologies that will give us the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship Picture Quote #1

People are lonely. The network is seductive. But if we are always on, we may deny ourselves the rewards of solitude Picture Quote #1

Technology is seductive when what it offers meets our human vulnerabilities. And as it turns out, we are very vulnerable indeed. We are lonely but fearful of intimacy. Digital connections and the sociable robot may offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship. Our networked life allows us to hide from each other, even as we are tethered to each other. We’d rather text than talk Picture Quote #1

Does virtual intimacy degrade our experience of the other kind and, indeed, of all encounters, of any kind? Picture Quote #1
