Turkle Response

Human interaction is a fading skill and this is a problem.  Sherry makes many good points about technology and how it has made people to feel lonely.   She makes a point that people use technological devices as a way to escape reality...But are do try and escape too often? When people spend time together now, their attention is directed more towards their cell phones than each other.  This is a problem which us, as a population, have never encountered before.  I found it interesting when Turkle explained how we have the power to control what we exhibit to others through online connection and social media.  This could be a problem because I feel that people make preconceived judgements on others before meeting them.  We all need to take a step back from the virtual reality and enter back into the world without technology.

  3. I agree with you and believe that we should not judge how a person is by the way they display themselves on the internet or on any social media.
