About the Book
Sherry Turkle does an amazing job evoking critical thought and emotions as she demonstrates and challenges what technology and the internet has brought to American society. Beginning with a rich description of robotic advances, Turkle take the reader through decades of interesting evidence of the positives, negatives, and in-differences about robots, bots, and technological assistance for our elderly, children, and lonely. She goes on to an enriching depiction of how social media, email, cell phones, and avatar worlds have changed how we deal with everyday life.
From a generational point of view, Turkle brings in anecdotal evidence of the positives and negatives of such technologies.
Overall, this book challenges both the advocates and the skeptics to think about the "big picture" of the effects of technology and social media.
