What happens when we start preferring interactions with our devices over interactions with real people? Sherry Turkle explores this dilemma in her book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other. Communications students Katt and Hailey, along with professor Jeremy Pettitt, discuss Turkle’s book, the pitfalls of texting, and the daunting prospect of making a phone call. Head over to Ellul’s Cafe for a conversation on the necessity of embodied community in a digital age. Reach out to me:[email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
