Sherry Turkle
-
“Computers are not good or bad; they are powerful.”
-
“Technology doesn't just do things for us. It does things to us, changing not just what we do but who we are.”
-
“Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self. And here the computer, a companion without emotional demands, offers a compromise. You can be a loner, but never alone. You can interact, but need never feel vulnerable to another person.”
Sherry Turkle, U.S. academic, writer, educator
(1948)
