When In-Person Conversation Is Better Than Texting

“My position is not anti-technology, it’s pro-conversation,” asserts Sherry Turkle the director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self in a short interview at the 2017 Aspen Ideas Festival. Turkle believes that technology is an important part of modern life, but also that people need time away from their phones to cultivate the best relationships with other people. She argues that there should be spaces in everyone’s home and life where there are no phones at all.

Sometimes the old ways are the best.

We need a video to tell us to actually talk to the people in front of us...wonderful.

THANK YOU, Dr. Turkle, for this concise, informative, well-presented reminder which I so badly needed this very day.

I’m an introvert, and I prefer calling my crush than texting her

[@Calvbread]

I'm an introvert i prefer face to face

[@Alphacentauri819]

True introverts often like an intimate face to face, that has depth. It is the dismissive avoidants who think they are introverts, but mistake their avoidance as introversion, that you are describing

[@beatusSLO]

Nice video, but she was a bit hard to understand due to her voice level being a bit low imo (in comparison to music).

[@canalNICOLLE]

No anti technology, is pro conversation to be more mindful when a text is the right mode and when q conversation is really what you need
