Who else is here because your professor told you to watch it?
writing a page and a half about this presentation. So, yes, i watched this because of a professor.
Guilty!!
Yes!
Me.
Yeah, me too.
As an introvert who pretty much grew up on the Internet, I'm not exactly convinced that some of what she's labelling problems are problems in the first place. If anything, I feel like my experiences have been closer to her first predictions about it bringing you closer to your identity and helping you live as your better self IRL.
(That being said, I use Reddit way more than traditional social media, so there might be some qualitative differences here. And again, I'm an introvert, so I'm not going to have problems with alone time regardless of how much internet I use. So...YMMV.)
Me. I'm really glad my professor listed this in the coursework. It's quite a slap to the face!

I can't believe it, this was published in 2012. It's even more evident now. Those pictures of her daughters, that's exactly what my family (grandmother, sister, cousin, mother, all of them but my grandpa, who was watching TV alone) looked like on Christmas day. Christmas, man.
If there is a business model that would jujitsu this isolating trend into something beneficial for humanity, I'll totally pursue it for the long haul.
Bradley Stone things are getting worse and worse.
I am 18 year old and all of my friends (literally all of them) they only text actually they don't even text anymore, only i pay visits to there home. I visit my friends every 2 or 3 day but...
Neither they text anymore, talk anymore, visit anymore. The truth is when i asked them all, they say they have nothing to talk about everyday, they do nothing, go nowhere.
Each and everyone one of my classmates, college friends stuck to facebook instagram
visit LAtin America for Xmas...
When all of us siblings got our own phones, we were all just lying in our bed with our eyes glued to our own phones. Missed those days when we used to talk for hours until we fall asleep.
More evident during COVID19 pandemic but equally important for connection though
It's relevance is only increasing I think

Our professor told us to watch this, but now I am as just thankful that I get to hear what she has to say. Although years have passed it is still so relevant. Wholesome truth.
I always come back to this, and every time I do, I learn something new. The reason I came back to it this time is ChatGPT, and even back then, Dr. Turkle was way ahead of her time. A decade later and this talk is more relevant than ever. This is one of the most profound talks I have ever seen.
Back again and I am still learning. Update: ChatGPT 4o is here and the first thing I thought of was this talk. Siri will soon be able to talk to you like a humam being, and we are going deeper into the rabbit hole.
I wanted to post a tweet that read "we trust technology more than we trust each other" and then I realized that in doing so I would be the whole point of this video...
Hello Lady ,
would please told me the summrize of this vedio .!
+Haley Shea So you didn't post it on Twitter but you posted it on UA-cam....
The contradiction is difficult to manage. It is also the problem. Read Neil Postmann for instance or Mumford or Ellul, or Arendt, or Anders. But if you want to cut off, you'll be stigmatized as neoluddite. The only way :be proud of one's choice and tolerate other's choices.
Same here. I want to tweet about this but then I will be doing that because I want to feel heard ad feel like no one is listening to me so I find myself stuck on what to do. What is the balance with technology ? Idk anymore :(
And instead u made a comment on youtube
"I would've listened to this argument and taken it to heart, but 19 minutes is a long time, and I kept getting distracted by text messages and the urge to check Facebook."

"If we don't teach our children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely."
As part of the "web generation" this is something that rings true. None of the ADHD, inability to read books, all that crap really has been exemplified in myself nor others I know, but this factor right here is actually pretty important.
got to me too
This is the Ted talk where I really felt her words. It has been almost 10 years now, and it's getting more noticeable within communities, friends, and families. I had felt the effects of technology when I was 8 years old (2013) until now. Almost every kid, including me, goes outside their homes to meet and play with other kids. Then, a computer shop first arrived near us, and that's the start of where kids stopped meeting and playing with each other and playing computer games instead. The effects of technology even became louder around 2015-2016 when people started to have mobile phones. In my place, they were not as popular before because Nokia basically dominated here and probably the entire Philippines until around 2015-2016.
My mother, my 7-year-old sister, and I often use phones every day, but I still get the chance to communicate with my little sister because she's more active, talkative, and relatable. My mother, on the other hand, is not really relatable because she's in a different generation, but we still communicate with each other.
I meant "louder" figuratively
Imagine, 919k students graduated college because of this.

It's true that when we feel alone we direct our attention to this devices to not feel alone but the truth is we're still alone with or without this devices so I agree that we must find solitude so that we can find and know more about ourselves because I've been there and I would like to share that being alone is not completely being lonely its just that we need time for our self. Beautiful speech by the way, hope today's generation would see this.
To those students who came here because your professors told you to. Don't complain about having to watch this video. Be grateful because it offers a lesson that is very rare nowadays. It's not just about making a reaction paper. It's about learning the sad truth of the reality we are living today.
This is one of the most profound talks, the best speeches I've ever heard. She vocalizes everything I've wanted to say but didn't know how, she has prompted me to think deeply about my life and how I am living it. Thank you.
I actually had a theory and it kinda goes like this,
You know how touch is such an important part of developing relationships and interacting and it connects us. Think about it you touch your wife, girlfriend,boyfriend mom, dad, kids etc. You hug them, shake their hands, smack them on the head, whatever it is it involved one of the 7 senses which is TOUCH.
Well think about what is the thing you touch the most now, its probably your cell phone that sense of touch is so important and the majority of the time now its our phones that we are touching. We are so desensitized from reality and human interactions because the thing we touch the most is our phones.
So if you stop touching your phone so much you are resensitize yourself. Put the volume up on loud and leave it one your nightstand and only pick it up when it rings. Put your phone in your glove compartment when you drive for example start small and build yourself up to a point when you can leave your house without your phone.
Most of us don't have such an important job or lifestyle where we need to constantly be on our phones.
+Tariq Khan isnt it just 5 senses?
Wow, that's an interesting way to look at it. Have you read the book the five love languages? It discusses the fact that different people communicate through different means, whether it be touch or words or actions. Personally I'm a touch person and I have a hard time having a connection to a person without touching him or her. People that I've never met don't feel like real people, just little blips in a machine. I think that in person connection makes things more genuine.
The very device that is supposed to connect ppl is isolating them!
Tariq Khan 😃👍👍
BOOOOOOOOOOMER
She gave this talk in 2012 and 8 years later till now in 2020, this is still so true for the message that should go viral to create a world not gonna be like "be together but not really be with each other"
I can’t believe 2020 was 3 years ago 😮
This talk was made in 2012, and now in 2017, I have to say the situation is only getting worse.
Usually that is how it goes with addiction.
You're damn right it is. I feel like the life we're experiencing now is totally different from the life that our parents experienced in ways such as social interactions, friendships, family relationships, relationships in general, etc. and that they're not as strong or they're not what they should be but we don't know it because what life is now is what we're all used to. I agree, it's getting worse and I don't know if there is any way to reverse it.
I'm 17 and all this technology didn't really have a huge presence in my life until I was about 11 or 12. But even though I was still young back then (I'm still young now) I can definitely see the difference and I never got to experience life without all these devices fully like our parents did.
Yes,totally.
I always thought about how my expectation of life would be like to what my parents had experience. Ya know like classic things even the technologies are created, then every day passed I realize that technology now has a huge impact to people including me but still, somehow I felt left out because I'm still sticking to things that simple communication a face to face to people would be better
So probably one of the point is we need to put time or limit using our devices, it depends on the situation
now in 2019 ,I have to say situations is not hopeful .
She was basically saying that the wrong use of technology is like drugs
Too Awesome Productions and here i am two years later that yes improper use of technology is proven to be on the same level as drugs
Most things are more enjoyable in moderation
Any reactions? 😂😂
Thank you for this lmao
It is year 2022 now, and I am here watching this video because my professor told us to watch this for our subject purposive communication. It's worth to watch and I've learned a lot.
For this video, I've realized that it is more important to have a conversation with friends, having face to face classes and spending time with love ones than exposing to social medias account such as Facebook, Twitter and other social medias platforms. Well, in social media specifically Facebook and Twitter, there are a lot of toxicity. You see a lot of perfectionist, judgements and criticism. However, it also useful in other hand for us, especially in this time of pandemic. We really need social media in order to disseminate information. I think the only thing we need to do is use it in a good purpose and use in a good communication.
i understand what u saying but its overuse and its like ive heard it somewhre, ik its yours but nothing else new?
Man, that hit me hard. What a reality check, which was much needed for me, and probably for many other people.
Try to think about the severity of this type of described situation, if one needs a Ted talk to be a reality check.
As the stream of thoughts, of Theodorius Ghandeli have tried many times to help to spark a thought process in the ones being almost too far gone, but only to find, beings not willing to open their mind etcetera.
I agree with Sherry Turkle about what technology avoiding us away from a real-life conversation, even though technology gives us an easier way to do things. I also agree that nowadays people are afraid of real-life conversation because people don't listen to what you have to say, but online there will always be someone listening. For me, i definitely agree that even though technology is the reason why we as people are becoming isolated, technology can also be the one to bring us back to what we are meant to be.
I'm here because of our subject of Purposive Communication but this topic is really interesting not just in subject but i learned a lot. If you want to talk, talk it personally not in text, email or any social media app. This talk is good. I want to suggest to watch this especially to the youths and children. Teach our children with social life.
same wahaha (2023)
My professor told us to watch this before we had an activity, im glad i have to watch this video because it really shape what were doing right now and answers so many questions to what im curious about in having conversation and connection. It makes me realizw how important having our phones turned off and talking to the people around us personally. Thank you for this!!
10 years since this talk and it is still more relevant than ever! Thanks Sherry Turkle, be blessed!
The use of cellphones is only becoming worse among the youth sadly.
Brilliant. Smart. She is a good speaker as well. Doesn't say anything irrelevant. She is a great speaker. And she is very very smart. Let's use technology for what it's for and that's it! Let's not let it control us and prevent us from having the communication skills we really need. No wonder we struggle at job interviews. We are not accustomed to revealing our true selves. She makes a terrific point.
I am going to read her book "Alone Together" because out of all the authors and books listed for my class, this is one of them. I will read it.
Rosey Posey Is the book great?
Na Mae I agreed with all her points, but the elephantine amount of anecdotes made it a tedium.
5/5 if she only used a few anecdotes.
2/5 since 70% of the book literally consisted of anecdotes.
I would recommend it to someone to "skim" not to "read".

-STUDENTS DOING THEIR REFECTION PAPER
I agree with Sherry Turkle that we are smitten with technology. Indeed, our lives have benefitted and become more convenient with technology. However, we are sacrificing our real-life conversations for virtual connectedness.
I can relate to some of her examples given. At times, I complain that I do not get attention from my parents when they are replying emails on their phones. Yet, I subconsciously text at the dinner table when my whole family is present. This is the effect where we want to “customize” our lives by being together but somewhere else at the same time.
We have made it seem like there is less awkwardness online compared to real conversations. By believing that nobody is listening and expecting more from technology than people, we go to technology for help. I have some friends who express their feelings on their blogs and Twitter instead of sharing them with family and friends. This shows how reliant we are on the internet.
We are getting more dependent on technology for companionship, and at the same time, forgetting about the real relationships. There is a need to learn to strike a balance between our lives and technology. (195 words, Jamel Chan, CMM/TB02)
This is about how technology is taking over our lives. Sherry express her thoughts about how technology has a big influence on our social interaction. I agree with what Sherry Turkle said, that there is also a negative impact of being so connected to technology instead of spending time together with your family or friends all are being on their cellphone devices. We have become so addicted to it, that sometimes we weren't able to develop our face to face relations.
i cant believe i have to watch this to get good marks
me too
Me too and going to present too.

i know no one asked but im only watching cuz of a presentation on media and globalization but i really listened to this and i look at my girlfriend whom i met online and what i see, is that media can be very surprising even tho it lacks allot of real conversation it did bring me someone who ill soon marry. ive met her 5 years ago and were still kicking it off and still falling and loving each other, we fight but we forgive and love each other vey much and we finally met up just a little over a month ago and it just proves that media could bring complete strangers who lived far away from each other to come into a relationship thanks to social media, ive met lots of amazing people and new friends around the world thanks to media and im not proving a point or anything but i just wna share an experience that i had with social media and how it can also be a good thing

Purposive communication😁 like mo Kung nandto k pra sa subject na to haha
My friends and I use our phones to plan events, to share things we found interesting of funny, and to keep in touch since we're all out of school. When we're on our phones together, it's only to fill a small void between events, not to control how much we interact. Often we've even all played games together, through our phones. When we are not doing something through our phones, we'll actively ask people to get off their phone, or to actually join what we're doing/saying. I get that not everyone is like this, but there are a lot of people who are. Technology advances, and there will always be people who think that it is the end of the world.
Wow! Got so much more out of this. My take aways:
-we expect more from technology than from others
-tech cleans up relationships by allowing us to edit, delete, and retouch ourselves
-tech keeps us from self reflection and solitude, which produces more loneliness
-tech causes us to do things we once found odd, like sending an email in the midst of a conversation with others.
-tech causes us to think that being alone is a problem we need to solve
-constant connection has created a new regime: “I share, therefore I connect “ which leads us to over share in order to feel heard.
Beautifully said. In some ways, we are truly less genuinely connected with each other than ever before. I've been reflecting on how to shift that in my own life.
It's astounding to me - the vitriolic backlash. Sherry just described some research confusion (which seem true). Some folks respond with "No. No. Don't say that! Don't say that!!!!!" Sherry isn't pick pocketing your lifeline (phone). She's just encouraging your to consider some things. But how would someone who never sat quietly or read or lived without a "signal" bilieve Sherry could be sane? DON'T DIS MY PHONE!!!!!!!
So totally agree with her....this constant need to keep checking the phone and reacting to comments, posts, texts is overwhelming. The social network on digital platforms isn’t real.....we are fooled into believing that those connections are real friends because of bits of random communication which make us feel good. But when u really need someone in life these connections are the last....only people with whom u have a genuine emotional bond and who u meet on a regular basis show up.
my professor told me to watch this, and I am so grateful that she shares this meaningful talk. thank you so much!
Actually looking for the comments to get some ideas so I won't watch the whole entire ted talk but I found out we all have the same problems 2020
2020 Students, Are you here because your professor told you to watch it?
Can someone send me a summary of this?

Am I the only one that is watching, without being told by any professor, but out of compassion and admiration to prof sherry turkle?
Gadgets tend to broke easily, but not the trust, love, and memories we create while connecting with our love ones and friends ❤ from Philippines. 😊
I gave up social media for 40 days, and I have to say I'm doing well but I have definitely seen how much more my mind is appreciating the smaller things.
It’s already 2020 and we were told by the professor to watch this :DDD
No
Because as always, Dr. Sherry's research findings are relevant and timely today. We are still venturing towards the peak of technology as I speak and evidently to this day, it is more important.
my professor in purposive communication told me to watch this, sino pa?
Same lol
My dad sends me videos like this all the time and I find this awesome!
Great dad you have man!
2023 students is here because your prof told you to watch it. I somehow grateful.
Yeah. I can't see anything questionable about this speech.
Yeah I notice this a lot with my family. all of us could be in the same room and its silent because we are all texting or doing whatever. and that's sad because that's just time wasted being together but being alone
Thanks so much, Sherry Turkle! This is one of the most truthful presentations on the virtual world and this resonates so much with me. I have encountered the illusionary nature of the virtual world very painfully and I work as a Nanny with 4 boys, one of them is just 1 year old. When he sees his father or mother with a mobile phone or i-pad, he becomes crazy and begins to cry, for wanting to hold it and be part of it. I've decided to leave this pump and circumstance and live 3D with real folks.
I feel like this talk is getting more relevant everyday. We have truly lost our ways in social connection. I DON'T WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE ONLINE
Absolutely brilliant synopsis of the social effect of technology. I highly recommend listening to what she has to say and sharing it with others. Fundamental social skills and development are being impacted by our substitution of technology for face-to-face interactions.
2020, Pandemic is happening right now and yet our teacher required us to watch this.
I would send thank you notes to my professor for letting us watch this video. It is worth watching.🥰🥰🥰
is he/she will read a comments?
Thank you Sherry. You have put clearly in words a pain that many of us share!
Everyone always asks “hey Siri?” but never “how’s Siri?”
LMAOOO
I'm happy our teacher saw this. During this time of pandemic, online classes have surfaced. I can say that it is not an effective way to learn and teach. The heart of studying and teaching losts its value. I hope we can somehow have a time when all of this is done, talk with each other and have a conversation instead of a mere connection.
I fully agree with what Sherry Turkle said. I feel it is true that technology is taking over our lives, it is already evident in the workforce or even when you see youths together. They do not talk, they are together but constantly busy on their electronic devices. She also mentioned that you cannot convey true emotions through technology or messaging online from personal experience, the message you are trying to tell people can often be misinterpreted when it is not said in person. I also feel that having robots replace humans and try to act human like so that people have companions is wrong. The robots are not real and have no emotions, it is kind of insulting the human race I think. It shows that humans are so selfish and busy that they have no time for their loved ones. They should stop humanizing technology so people of the future will still understand how to communicate face to face and have an emotional relationship with a person.

Being alone but connected is definitely mostly because of technology, but I think it's also our lifestyles. We're too busy working and when we're off work, who has the energy to really connect or meet new people? Also, who has the time and money to be fit and look good? It's creepy to me to see so many people posting photos of themselves through filters where their eyes are enlarged and their skin is softened to make themselves look younger and more beautiful. But it's become the norm and we're identifying more and more with these 'avatars' (profiles) than we are with ourselves and our community. I agree with Turkle, we have to learn how to love our lives now, we have to talk to ourselves so that we now how to do that. I think so many people are unfulfilled in this modern world.
she is pointing out very important facts about life today. we are social beings by nature and that when we are alone we feel the need to use technology. as she said we shouldn't move away from technology and we should develop skills for form a conversations with people around you. this increased reliance on technology can be said to be a reason why many children today have limited ability to speak out and express their thoughts about subject matter. this skill of critiquing and questioning materials and literature is an important part of later success in life in general. yes technology does give us access to a vast amount of information out there that informs, but the problems lies within processing and understanding these materials. otherwise children and people in general will be gullible to anything that media says. this is a huge problem that has affected the previous and the generations of today.

This really gets me. I have an argument with my boyfriend at least once a day about putting his phone away when he gets home from work. I understand he wants to relax and unwind, but once I get our son to bed, he has plenty of time to do whatever he wants to do. Until that point, I think it's fair to want him to spend time with his son. He's a good dad, don't get me wrong. It's not like he's a deadbeat or anything because he isn't. I just think like most people, he gets sucked into the virtual world. It really got to me when she started talking about teaching our children to be alone so they're basically used to it as they get older. That bothers me on a deep level. I don't ever want my son to feel alone, and the way things have been going, I'm afraid that's what he's being taught. We need to learn to do and be better for our kids, but we are showing them that technology and our time using them is more important. What happened to our world?
Ones own behaviour and mindset, needs to be recognised first, then change might take place.
If, one does realise what the result might be, or the effect. T. Ghandeli has seen many human type like beings, change their ways and behavioural patterns, because of media devices, being or becoming an important part of ones life.

As technology becomes more sophisticated and globally innovated, it greatly has impact on people particularly on students. We tend to cram and laze on school works since we are very complacent that everything we need to research online is available and accessible. As students, we should reflect on and be more vigilant on ourselves. Blame is not always on teachers/professors especially when we complain and feel dissatisfied on our academic grades cause we are primarily the ones responsible for it.
I just heard snippets of this on NPR. I can't wait to hear the whole thing!
Technology is a beautiful thing, but we can't personally evolve as quickly as it falls in our laps. I love you people and I think social awareness of the downside technology brings to the table should be a very strong and conversed topic within everyones social discourse.
this has to be one of the best TED talks that i have ever witnessed. I do hope more of this type will come.
Glad I stumbled upon this gem... I agree with most of what she says. However, I've never met an introvert who loathes alone time. I enjoy social connection but in moderation with folks I feel safe enough to trust. Most folks I've met have much disappointed me. Enough to become a selectively extroverted extreme introvert. I enjoy authentic social connections with my familiars + strangers but unlimited access to me is a privilege.
I'm watching this because my professor told me to create a three page reaction paper. Jesus.

hi! can I have your copy, please? HAHAHAHAAUUAHAHA just kidding.
I've been saying this for years. Back in the 90's, I was seeing a charismatic musician who also worked tech support for Adobe. He was very well versed in computers, and as a result, I noticed his behavior affected negatively. Because he could "control" so much in his PC world: delete, edit, download, power off - he required that kind of control with people and events in his real life. Doesn't work too well for people who aren't easily programmed and who refuse respond to this kind of communication. I'm much more comfortable alone than 'socialising' in the shallows with false friends and electronic emoticons.
Hello everyone 😄. Purposive communication subject padaan😅
But it's worth it to watch really😘. Thanks to the speaker for her valuable words that can enlighten thousands of minds😊
I agree with Sherry Turkle’s views on technology. I feel that since we are such a technologically-dependent world now, we have started to lose sense of the people we are. We do not give ourselves time to reflect and discover the people we are. We create a facade behind the screens of our phones and computers. Maybe we could be so much more than we are now or maybe we could foster many more meaningful relationships if not for the pull of technological companionship, which is much less complicated than human relationships. The part about “pretend empathy” made me question why people would choose to confide more to a lifeless machine rather than to another human entity who can empathise better because they have the ability to experience the same feelings. Given a day without technology, I think the world would go through a completely irreversible process of change. We would all go through a process of self-reflection and face-to-face communication. Finally, we would come out from behind the technological shield that has become our reality and be vulnerable to whatever reality can make of us, and I believe from that change, we would become a much emboldened humanity.

Came because my professor told me to watch it, stayed because i suffer from these kinds of situation.
Had to look at the video for an English assignment. I never realized how much our phones affect us or technology period.
2021 students, I'm from the Philippines, and this topic is part of our lesson in Purposive Communication. Hahaha
