More quotes by Sherry Turkle
We are not as strong as technology's pull.
Sherry Turkle
Teenagers would rather text than talk. They feel calls would reveal too much.
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
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
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
As a therapist, I know that when you're vulnerable, the best way to move on is to admit your vulnerability, don't beat yourself up for it, and try to find a way to analyze your vulnerability. Pull up your socks and try to do better for you and your family.
Sherry Turkle
I apologize to all of my colleagues who've been writing up storms, but as a culture we've essentially put ourselves into a position where Mark Zuckerberg can say, Privacy as a social norm is no longer relevant, and a lot of people don't blink an eye.
Sherry Turkle
What technology makes easy is not always what nurtures the human spirit.
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
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 expect more from technology and less from each other.
Sherry Turkle
There are moments of opportunity for families moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!
Sherry Turkle
People are lonely. The network is seductive. But if we are always on, we may deny ourselves the rewards of solitude.
Sherry Turkle
Someday, someday, but certainly not now, I'd like to learn how to have a conversation.
Sherry Turkle
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.
Sherry Turkle
Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies.
Sherry Turkle
When the social network doesn't find it convenient to have privacy, we say, Okay, social network, you don't want privacy, maybe we won't have it either. But we did this without having the conversation.
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 have relationships with many different things, creatures and beings. We have relationships with cats, with dogs, with horses, and we know that there are certain things they can't do. So we'll add robots to that list, and we'll learn what they can and cannot do. No harm, no foul.
Sherry Turkle
We're letting [technology] take us places that we don't want to go.
