162. Reclaiming conversation and connection, featuring Sherry Turkle


Listen Later

Technology is quickly changing what we do and who we are. As our kids continue to grow up in a society ruled by screens and social media, their ability to relate, converse, and have real relationships has sadly suffered. Today’s clip features Sherry Turkle, who is a professor at MIT, a clinical psychologist, and an expert on culture, social networking, and people’s relationships with technology. She outlines the small steps we can take to teach our kids real-life values—including solitude, conversation, and really listening to each other.

Watch the full clip here. Check out her book, The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir.
