TED Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone?

Have each other at a distance we can control - The Goldilocks Effect We only pay attention to what we want to in a presentation, and never get to hear what we don't want to hear, this is a problem Conversations problem - we can't control what we want to say, we edit ourselves, we are just right, not too much, not too little Cleaning up relationships with technology Good for connection but not for really understanding each other Facebook makes up for feeling like no one is listening to me We're developing social robots for the elderly (robodog) We're lonely, but we are afraid of intimacy I share therefor I am Not suggesting to turn away from the devices, just make room for other stuff
