In her TED Talk, Turkle’s main argument is that technology is making people more alone and distant from each other. One example of this was that when a woman lost her child, instead of talking about her grief and struggles with a person, she talked to a robot. It was in the shape of a baby seal and the eyes would move to make it seem as though that robot was truly listening and understanding what she was saying. While some people found this incredible that this robot was able to comfort a woman who had lost her child, Turkle had a very different view. She thought it was sad that she was turning to something that could in no way understand and empathize with what she was going through. Turkle also claims that “technology appeals to us most where we are most vulnerable,” (7:30). By this, she is talking about when we feel upset, we turn to technology for companionship. My own view is that when Turkle insists we become more closed off when we are upset by turning to technology, people actually become more open. For me personally, I become more open to the people closest to me, such as close friends and family, and I find comfort in those relationships over technology. Although technology at times definitely has negative effects by pulling us away from the people that are right next to us, I think that Turkle also generalizes the population. However, I also do think that how she didn’t just talk about the bad side of technology in her TED Talk. She explained that she loves receiving texts from her daughter and that’s something that can be good when it comes to our phones.
