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.

More quotes by Sherry Turkle
Teenagers would rather text than talk. They feel calls would reveal too much.
Sherry Turkle
Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies.
Sherry Turkle
Kids have moved from, I have a feeling, I want to make a call, to I'd like to have a feeling, I need to send a text. In other words, there's a continual need for validation. They're constituting a thought or feeling by sending it out for votes. That's really not where you want to be emotionally.
Sherry Turkle
We're letting [technology] take us places that we don't want to go.
Sherry Turkle
We're too busy communicating to think, too busy communicating to connect, and sometimes we're too busy communicating to create. This is true for individuals and also true for organizations.
Sherry Turkle
we seem determined to give human qualities to objects and content to treat each other as things.
Sherry Turkle
Someday, someday, but certainly not now, I'd like to learn how to have a conversation.
Sherry Turkle
Technology challenges us to assert our human values, which means that first of all, we have to figure out what they are.
Sherry Turkle
We expect more from technology and less from each other. We create technology to provide the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship.
Sherry Turkle
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of Wired magazine. [Then things began to change. In the early 80s,] we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
Sherry Turkle
We are not as strong as technology's pull.
Sherry Turkle
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.
Sherry Turkle
What I'm seeing is a generation that says consistently, 'I would rather text than make a telephone call.' Why? It's less risky. I can just get the information out there. I don't have to get all involved it's more efficient. I would rather text than see somebody face to face.
Sherry Turkle
Technology doesn't just do things for us. It does things to us, changing not just what we do but who we are.
Sherry Turkle
What is the value of interactions that contain no understanding of us and that contribute nothing to a shared store of human meaning?
Sherry Turkle
These days, insecure in our relationships and anxious about intimacy, we look to technology for ways to be in relationships and protect ourselves from them at the same time.
Sherry Turkle
I don't tell a story unless I have a very deep bench. If you tell an idiosyncratic story, there's no resonance. People read it and say, I don't see anyone like that. So I tell a story only when I have many stories behind it.
Sherry Turkle
Human relationships are rich and they're messy and they're demanding. And we clean them up with technology. We sacrifice conversation for mere connection.
Sherry Turkle
We expect more from technology and less from each other.
Sherry Turkle
We... heal ourselves by giving others what we most need.
