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
