    Sherry Turkle argues that people increasingly choose communication through technology over real conversations. She discusses how social media allows people to avoid being alone or connecting intimately with others. Turkle also describes an elderly woman who opened up to a robot seal in a way she did not open up to people. While technology provides new ways to connect, Turkle believes face-to-face conversations are more important for solving problems, sharing feelings, and building relationships.

    REFLECTION PAPER

    “FLIGHT FROM CONVERSATION”

    INTRODUCTION

    Sherry Turkle through her article “The Flight From Conversation”


    discusses how humans choose to communicate through technology rather
    than communicating through conversations. She argues that it is necessary
    for humans to communicate through real life conversations rather than
    through innovative connections.

    BODY

    In her 2012 essay “The Flight from Conversation,” essayist Sherry


    Turkle argues the constant connection to social media inhibits the ability to
    hold an in-person conversation. Social media establish an environment
    where one cannot be alone without feeling lonely or connect with someone
    on an intimate level.

    A high school sophomore confides to me that he wishes he could talk


    to an artificial intelligence program instead of his dad about dating; he says
    the A.I. would have so much more in its database. Indeed, many people tell
    me they hope that as Siri, the digital assistant on Apple’s iPhone, becomes
    more advanced, “she” will be more and more like a best friend — one who
    will listen when others won’t.

    One of the most haunting experiences during my research came when


    I brought one of these robots, designed in the shape of a baby seal, to an
    elder-care facility, and an older woman began to talk to it about the loss of
    her child. The robot seemed to be looking into her eyes. It seemed to be
    following the conversation. The woman was comforted.
    CONCLUSION

    Sometimes in a person’s life there are things we don’t understand.


    often enters our minds why do we do it? is it right or wrong? so we think of
    things that will solve our problems. Like talking on social media, like emails,
    facebook, twitter, and etc. But talking in person is still different than on
    social media, because talking in person can help you solve your problems,
    the pain you feel in your heart and mind. It is much more important to hug
    and care for someone personally than emails, facebook, twitter and etc so
    we choose it more.

    Greatly enjoyed reading “The flight from conversation” by Sherry Turkle


    because she indicates the reality of our today’s society regarding the lack of
    communication. She uses many real life situations to support her details that
    cellphones and other technological devices have inhibited the face to face
    communication. Although, technology has given us many forms of
    communication, I feel that the most important way to communicate is by
    talking face to face.

            As Sherry Turkle in her article, we tend to “dumb down our


    communications” when we use our technological devices because we feel the
    need to have a quick response. When we need to have a serious
    conversation with a person, we want to hear their true feelings and full
    answers. Also, when communicating over the phone, we don’t get the full
    sense of feeling of that person’s words. We don’t know if they are being
    completely serious or if they are using a sarcastic tone. This can cause many
    problems between friends and other people. Technology is such a great
    advancement in our society, but certain aspects of day to day life cannot be
    attained through these online techniques. I feel that face to face
    communication needs to emphasized in our lives entirely lose the ability to
    speak with others in person.
