"Das Internet muss weg" von Schlecky Silbersteinhttps://amzn.to/42Z6TbQ (Affiliate-Link)"Reclaiming Conversation" von Sherry Turklehttps://amzn.to/4hSXEOR (Affiliate-Link)Kartenspiel zur digitalen Achtsamkeithttps://www.bosodo-games.comIn einer Welt, in der das Internet unser tägliches Leben dominiert, ist es wichtiger denn je, über den Einfluss, den es auf uns hat, nachzudenken. Die Herausforderungen, die das digitale Zeitalter mit sich bringt, erfordern ein bewusstes und verantwortungsvolles Handeln. Dieser Artikel beleuchtet drei zentrale Punkte der digitalen Achtsamkeit, die helfen können, einen gesünderen Umgang mit der Online-Welt zu fördern.Das Internet ermöglicht eine Anonymität, die zu einem sogenannten "Online-Disinhibitionseffekt" führt. Die Menschen fühlen sich weniger gehemmt, wenn sie online kommunizieren, was oft zu unangemessenen oder verletzenden Äußerungen führt. Während die Möglichkeit, anonym zu agieren, einerseits Befreiung und Offenheit fördern kann, führt sie andererseits dazu, dass Menschen sich anders verhalten, als sie es im direkten Kontakt tun würden. Der fehlende Augenkontakt und die asynchrone Natur der Online-Kommunikation verstärken diese Enthemmung. Nutzer können Kommentare in Ruhe und ohne unmittelbare Konsequenzen verfassen, was zu einer Abnahme der sozialen Verantwortung führt. Dies verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit, sich der eigenen Kommunikation bewusst zu sein und die potenziellen Auswirkungen des eigenen Handelns auf andere zu erkennen.0:00 Das Internet muss weg2:00 Der Online-Disinhibition-Effekt4:51 Kommunikation im digitalen Zeitalter7:14 Tipps für digitale Achtsamkeit

One of the most effective methods for sharing the gospel is through personal conversations. But in our modern world, many of us struggle with 'personal' and 'conversation' for a variety of reasons. Today on PEP Talk we discuss the issues and struggles we have with conversation, personal connection and empathy in an age of digital distraction and polarised public discourse.For further reading, books mentioned in this episode include Disruptive Witness by Alan Noble and Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle.Our GuestNathan Rittenhouse is a speaker, preacher and podcaster.

Phil continued our sub series “Adopt His Rhythms” with a message out of Philippians 2 about conversation. Paul has a great deal to say about how we talk and listen to each other, and he roots these relational practices in the story of Jesus. Phil explored why good conversation is hard to come by these days and how the way of Jesus can pave the way for new ground in this area.

Julian Treasure is an expert in communication and one of the most powerful speakers in the world. How do I know that? He has the sixth most watched TED talk ever given and all of his TED appearances combined have over 135 million views. When he speaks, people listen. And that's the crux of what he teaches. Speaking and listening are fundamental skills in our lives and careers but very few people ever practice them. We don't teach them in school or business, yet we rely on our voice and ears day-in-day out to effect changes we want to see. In our conversation, we first talk about the lost art of listening and speaking before getting tactical about how to improve both of those skills. We also discuss the long list of invisible reasons we should spend more time thinking about sound. After our conversation, I debrief Julian's lessons and insights with Matt. Please enjoy this masterclass on communication.

So much about communication is more than just the words said. In the book Reclaiming Conversation, Sherry Turkle lays out the science behind the effects that trading face to face conversation for words on a screen is having on our society. At Mission City we have a value of dialoguing well. We have this value because we think it's a way to love our neighbor well. In this episode we break down each section of the book and how it can impact us a followers of Jesus.

What impact does financial literacy have on decision-making and financial outcomes? How is financial literacy tested? In this episode, we help listeners understand why financial literacy is vital in terms of financial well-being. Learn the definition of financial literacy, how financial literacy relates to economic outcomes, the differences between people who are financially literate and those that are not, and the contribution of financial knowledge to human capital. We discuss the topic through the perspective of several papers that will challenge how you think about financial literacy and the questions to ask yourself to test your financial understanding. Then, we talk about this week's book review regarding the effects of technology on communication and the various distractions associated with a traditional work environment. We also go through the various reviews received about the show and what we have planned for the Rational Reminder community.   Key Points From This Episode:   Breakdown of changes made to the format of current and future episodes.

Many members of our community get caught up in doing recovery right. Some get REALLY caught up in that, becoming highly entangled in reading, watching videos, listening to podcasts, and asking questions about the correct way to recover. This can lead to choppy waters in recovery when the drive to do it right starts to overshadow the principles of recovery and the reason you’re doing the work to begin with.Sometimes I will say that we do not recover so we can live. We live so that we can recover. I stand by this statement and will repeat it from time to time.In life, sometimes we get things wrong. We make mistakes. We misread cues and make less than optimal choices. We get lazy or unmotivated sometimes. We get confused. This is all part of being alive. All humans make mistakes and get things - even important things - wrong sometimes. Recovery is no different.In fact, I might argue strongly that an ugly, imperfect recovery can be more valuable in the long run than somehow reading all the books, understanding every word, then executing a flawless recovery plan and racing back to “feeling better”. I mean, everyone wants to feel better and I would love it if you felt better, but the magic in recovery is not in figuring out how to feel better. The magic is in learning how to DO better. We live so that we can recover. This means that we start doing life to the best of our abilities so that life can reveal our competencies and our strengths for us. Part of being competent and strong is learning how to fix mistakes, change direction when needed, and navigate through errors or mis-steps. “Helicopter parents” catch heat for robbing their children of the lessons of resiliency and flexibility. If we try to engineer error-free perfect lives for our children, how will they learn to rise to meet a challenge or pick themselves up when they fall down. The same applies in recovery. Are you “helicopter parenting” your way through your recovery, or are you willing to accept that part of this process is sometimes getting the process wrong?Especially for our friends driven by overachiever, perfectionist, or hyper-responsible self image issues, getting it wrong can feel really uncomfortable sometimes. Reading, then doing without confirming the correctness of said doing seems irresponsible and like throwing caution to the wind or inviting disaster. But I promise, it is not. Doing recovery this way, by working to understand and apply the principles without demanding specific foolproof techniques or instructions is hard. It means that you will make mistakes sometimes, but it is far more productive and in the end far more rewarding.How can you allow yourself to get it wrong sometimes? Try something without asking for verification first. When you want to seek specific instruction or technique, ask yourself what principle of recovery applies to your situation at the moment then try to build your own instructions from there. When you fee like you must confirm that recovery is possible or that someone has solved the problem you’re trying to solve act first even in the face of this uncertainty and state of not knowing. Expect and accept the discomfort this brings and practice moving through that discomfort. I’ll leave you with a common example.“Am I supposed to literally sit with my fear, or should I try to get on with what I was doing and let it tag along?”My answer to this common question is … “sometimes”. This means that you’ll just have to try it both ways and see what happens. You’ll also have to learn when one method applies and when the other applies. You’ll have to work out when that might flip depending on context, then flip back.You might get it “wrong” sometimes, so strap in. But really, as long as you learn something from the experience, there is almost no “wrong” anyway.I’m currently just getting started on “Reclaiming Conversation” by Sherry Turkle. I found this one when it was referenced in Cal Newport’s “Digital Minimalism” so I was encouraged to give it a try. It’s a more academic read, but I have a real interest in the impact of digital media on how we related to each other so I’m enjoying it.Every Tuesday I’ll let you know what I’m currently reading. I read quite a bit on psychology and philosophy, but really you never know what I’ll have in my Kindle or Audible libraries! If you’re on Goodreads and into books, you can follow/friend me over there. Here’s a link to my “currently reading” shelf. I’d love to see what you’re reading and what you recommend.

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word influencer? How would you feel about being described as an influencer?Is there a good side to being an influencer?My guest Whitney Lauritson could be described as an influencer but she won't thank you for saying it because it has come to have so many negative and often shallow connotations in the online world. When I think about the people who tend to describe themselves as influencers, they are people who have large online followings in places like Instagram and YouTube and are often putting out vacuous content featuring their attractive and often enhanced features and generally relying on physical attractiveness or being intentionally contrarian and controversial.Fortunately, Whitney Lauritson is not one of THOSE kinds of people. She's someone who cares about human connection and about putting good things out into the world and that's one of the reasons she is such a great match with this show, where we share those values. We talk about how Whitney prefers to be introduced and delve into the world of influencer marketing and what the future may hold.In this episode:is there a good kind of online influencer?WTF is influencer marketing and why should I care?Which is better: a bigger following or a more engaged following?Where does podcasting fit into online influence?What is the future of influencer marketing?Why we should stop getting hung up on vanity metricsand much more. This was a great fun conversation with someone who really knows the industry well and also deeply cares about people and connection. We went to some places I didn't expect but I did thoroughly enjoy the conversation and got some great perspectives on influencer marketing and how we can all be making use of our online platforms.If you would like to connect with Whitney, you can visit: http://whitneylauritsen.com/ and check out her podcast This Might Get Uncomfortable where she and her co-host explore mental health, mindful living, and sustainability. Whitney's book recommendations are Do Nothing by Celeste Headlee and Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle and I will definitely be adding them to my audible wish list.Make sure you're subscribed for future episodes and if you found the show interesting, useful and valuable in any way, please share it with your network.If you would like to support the show financially and help me make Speaking Influence bigger and better, please consider buying me a coffee for $5 on our Supercast page or our membership and sponsorship levels available there too. Have an amazing week and go and make great things happen.Grow your list today Start growing your list today for free with Convert KitDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Arnon Rolnick and Lou Agosta discuss the work of Sherry Turkle. Professor Turkle gets off a good “Jeremiad” about the damaging effects of beeping, chirping, distracting, interrupting, messaging device. One of the main negative effects is a kind of acquired attention deficit on the part of large segments of the population/community. Key term: acquired attention deficit. The smart phone and text messaging is a significant disruptor to one's ability to be present with oneself and with others. One of the main effects of the digital revolution in everything is that we the community has an "acquired attention deficit" due to device interruptions. A lot of distance exists on the spectrum between "better than nothing" and "better than everything else." Turkle's “from better than nothing to better than anything” is a straw man (person) to be shot down. Like Winnicott's "good enough" mother - therapy strives to be "good enough" - trying to be perfect is another source of pathology - becoming obsessive or borderline. Now how does all that apply to performing psychotherapy online via video meeting technology? Check out this engaging conversation between Arnon and Lou about Turkle's incisive and penetrating contribution.

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. I'd love to know what you think, so join in on the conversation!

I first met Sherry Turkle about ten years ago at a conference where we spent hours chatting about how rapidly advancing technology is changing our relationships to each other and ourselves, and how that affects all sectors of society. It’s something Sherry has spent her life studying as a psychologist and sociologist at MIT. In this episode of Lead With We, I got the chance to reconnect with Sherry, who recently published a memoir called “The Empathy Diaries.” We spoke about how vulnerability is key to everything from great leadership to moving forward a society post-COVID, practicing empathy as an action, and so much more. This episode of Lead With We was produced and edited by Goal 17 Media and is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. You can also watch episodes on YouTube at WeFirstTV.

This week, Clint is pleased to have a conversation with Sherry Turkle. The New York Times called Sherry's new memoir The Empathy Diaries "a beautiful memoir about the life of the mind and the life of the senses." Sherry is also a professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT and the author of the best seller, Reclaiming Conversation. In part one, Clint and Sherry discuss the reasons we truly can't connect on a Zoom call, how she defines empathy, and why the "capacity to be alone is the capacity to know enough about yourself and who you are, and be comfortable enough with that."

Good morning, Five Minute Families! We hope your week was filled with sweet blessings of fellowship and kindness. We had a wonderful weekend here at Clear View Retreat with a group of volunteers coming to help us continue to get the facility able to be open in the winter time. Believe it or not, winter will be here before we know it. If you want more information about what we do here at Clear View Retreat, please check us out at clearviewretreat.org. Last week we discussed koinonia – for a group of believers, we use the term biblical community. Here on the Five Minute Family, we have often encouraged you to put away your devices and connect to your loved ones. However, putting down your phone will do little for your family and for your biblical community if you heart isn't right with the Lord. Looking at someone else on their phone when you have put yours down and assuming they are sinning, selfish, distracted, or any of those descriptors, will do nothing for biblical community. The first listed need in Wagner's list of biblical community characteristic is for an individual believer to ‘devote daily to a personal relationship with Jesus.' John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.” No matter where you go, some folks are having a rough go at it. Working folks are sick of the grind, stay-at-home parents are sick of the isolation and judgment, kids are tired of feeling like they can't measure up to their parents' or teachers' or church leaders' expectations. Someone listening here is dealing with mental health issues. Someone is being abused. Quite honestly, any relationship is only as healthy as the least healthy person in it. Turkle says in Reclaiming Conversation that “The case for conversation begins with the necessary conversations of solitude and self-reflection.” Self-reflection is key. Have you thought about how your personal relationship with Christ impacts your family and biblical community? Gal 5:13-15 tells us, “For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don't use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: love your neighbor as yourself. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.” Our family mantra is: do the right thing. How do you know what the right thing is unless you know the Truth? Hosea 6:3 says, “Let us strive to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the land.” And Hosea 6:6 continues, “For I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” Hosea is encouraging us to know the Lord. Know what is right. Know how to live in biblical community. Know how to disconnect to reconnect. We need that personal time with the Lord, so we can have a knowledge of who He is, who we are, and how we can minister to others. To start as a disciple who cares (someone who cares) we have to make sure we have a personal connection to the truth – God's Truth, which means we often have to come to realize the things we need to disconnect from and how to connect more with God. Sam Eaton said it this way, “The truth is, the only one inhibiting your ability to have strong, loving relationships is yourself (and your Netflix account).” So, we encourage each of listening this week to engage in self-reflection. Here are five prompts to get you started. Think, journal, or pray about a time you've been hurt and how God has brought you towards forgiveness. What is one goal you have to strengthen your relationship with God? What is one song that has really impacted your faith journey? What is a book that has greatly impacted your faith? When you think about reading the bible, what is the first...

In our digital age, it’s easy to stay connected. Emails, text messages, and social media allow us to share snippets of our lives with others- without really having to look, listen, or reveal ourselves. Today’s author argues that we have lost the art of conversation, and makes the case that now, more than ever, is […]

Having a vision for the future is important. But, having the ability to effectively communicate that vision is essential in making it a reality.  In this episode, I speak to Meghan Dotter, the Founder and CEO of Portico PR, about the importance of effective communication, how people can improve their ability to communicate effectively, and how to bring real value to your audience.

Paul Holdengräber and Sherry Turkle discuss the difference between loneliness and solitude, the link between democracy, privacy, and intimacy, and the illusion of friction-free human relationships.  Professor Turkle of MIT is a New York Times bestselling author whose work focuses on evolving relationships in digital culture. Her most recent books are Reclaiming Conversation (2015) and Alone Together (2011). Both investigate how we are tempted to hide behind our screens to feel less vulnerable. Now, during the experience of COVID-19, we find ourselves at a point of inflection, confronted with how much we lose when we give up the full embrace of the human. She is just completing a new book, The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir, to be published Spring 2021.

I often challenge people to create the future that they envision.  So, what does it take to envision the future, and to effectively convey that vision?  Creativity and Storytelling.  In this episode, I speak to dystopian filmmaker and author Diana Wink, about the creative process and how each of us can leverage our natural storytelling ability to help shape the future.

Emotional intelligence is a critical component to healthy workplaces that practice psychological safety.  It is even more critical when our world has been disrupted in a way that has physically disconnected us from one another. In this episode, I speak to Teresa Quinlan,  an Entrepreneur and the Founder of the IQ+EQ=TQ formula, where we discuss the importance of knowing ourselves well enough to have the ability to think of other people first. Teresa's Bio: Teresa Quinlan is a human first and an alchemist second. She believes that the synthesis of one’s intellectual quotient (IQ), personality, and emotional quotient (EQ) is the key to breaking through one’s talent quotient (TQ). As an Entrepreneur and Founder of her personal brand and the formula IQ+EQ=TQ, she is passionate about emotional intelligence as the key ingredient to leveraging your IQ and personality. Teresa has been focused on transforming individuals, teams and organizations to greater levels of performance since 1998 and has experienced leading teams and organizations through the highest of highs and the most challenging changes.   Resources:   Turkle, Sherry.  Reclaiming Conversation.  Penguin Books, 2016.   Coronavirus containment in India: hhttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-india-slums/india-struggles-to-contain-coronavirus-enforce-lockdown-in-sprawling-city-slums-idUSKCN21R2H4   Music by Ryan Sullivan.  Contact: sullybmusic@gmail.com

For our inaugural episode, we begin a three part series on Reclaiming Conversation, a text chosen for first-year School of Communication students to better help them transition from high school to Emerson College. Joining host Chance Dorland is School of Communication Dean Raul Reis.

We have sacrificed conversation for mere connection. At work, at home, with friends, and in love, we find ways around real conversations – instead choosing to engage with people via text, social media, email and other communication methods where we don't have to engage with people in real life (and reveal our true selves). Without conversation, there can be no genuine connection. I don't believe that technology is the problem. But the unintended effects of technology are contributing to the problem. Decreased empathy, feelings of alienation, superficial connection, and poor attention spans. Significant drops in productivity, creativity, and deep thought. Essential traits to innovation and participation in both business, relationships and life. Our generation is in serious danger of never experiencing the irreplaceable benefits of true/meaningful conversation. Learning to use technology deliberately is essential to reclaiming relationships. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: Why conversation is an essential building block of emotional, psychological, and intellectual development, and what is making you lose it Why you must stop making conversation "easy" because it’s crushing your ability to grow and deepen connections Why solitude is more important than you think How mindlessly surfing social media is robbing you of three things you need in your life What a "device free space" is and how it can help you connect with your family, friends, and team on a much deeper level How my belief of multitasking stopped me from getting things done Why you shouldn't abandon technology, but instead learn to use it deliberately so that you can avoid its adverse side effects How mentors can help you learn and teach new generations how to use conversation to connect, grow, and learn empathy LINKS AND RESOURCES: Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance: http://www.vigorgroundfitness.com/ Vigor Life Podcast (iTunes): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vigor-life-podcast/id1180256583?mt=2 Luka Hocevar YouTube Channel (Subscribe): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ29YcBh-g6onRujX3wD_XA?view_as=subscriber Luka Hocevar Instagram (Follow): https://www.instagram.com/lukahocevar/ Book: Reclaiming Conversation - The Power of Talk In A Digital Age: https://www.amazon.com/Reclaiming-Conversation-Power-Talk-Digital/dp/0143109790 Thanks so much for joining me this week.

In Episode 21, Jessica Ann talks with tech ethicist David Ryan Polgar.  Polgar digs below the surface to examine our tech use from an ethical, legal, and emotional perspective. With a background as an attorney and an educator, along with experience working with social media companies, he is able to take a Multidisciplinary approach to our evolving use of technology. In this interview, David and Jessica discuss: How Technology Impacts Us from an Ethical and Emotional Perspective Why we lack appropriate terms for what we're even talking about. Everyone is struggling with this. Why our rapturous submission to digital technology has led to an atrophying of human capacities like empathy and self-­reflection, and the time has come to reassert ourselves, behave like adults, and put technology in its place (h/t Sherry Turkle's Reclaiming Conversation." What does it mean to be human in how we communicate and at the world at large? We're often living through a filter and that filter is coming through our screen. How we're hooked up to the Google brain. If we all have access to it, it's not important. It's more important to step back, and have creativity and wisdom with access the information. It's more important to be creative today but we're struggling with the mass-consumption of information. Creativity and wisdom are seen as the ability to connect dots. Creative people take things we wouldn't think and say "let's combine that." The problem that's happening is that we're struggling with something that never ends because we of unlimited consumption. When information becomes available we tend to gobble it up. We need to say "Hey Facebook, make those cookies a little less delicious." Silicon Valley is selling us a product that we're gobbling up but we do not know the nutritional content. We need to allow for more moments of digestion: Don't check your phone, close the browser. This is easier said than done but we need to think of an information diet the same as we think of a food diet. How do we not become a robot in a world that's trying to change us into robots? As a capitalist society, every revolution has a counter-revolution. How and why Silicon Valley is selling us a product that we're gobbling up. And why we need to make an informed decision about the content we consume. Do we humans have free-will with the endless use of algorithms? How humanity is becoming "bot-ified" based on predictive analytics. How LinkedIn automates intimacy and how we have gamified relationships. Why social adoption is not solely focused on utility.

Listen to Sherry Turkle, PhD, professor at MIT, author TED Talk giver, discusses her presentation "Reclaiming Conversation in the Financial Services Industry"  - Reminds the attendees of the importance of remembering that we are working with real people.  Listen to her take on the importance of retaining the human dimension.

What does it look like to focus in a culture that seems to be doing all it can to keep us from doing so? We sit down to work on a problem or formulate an idea, only to find ourselves answering email. We go to dinner with a friend and spend time majority of the time tending to texts and social media pings. And then there's our kids! How do we help them navigate a world deeply influenced by constant connection and novel Internet stimulation? How is it impacting the way we think? What's it doing to all of our ability to relate? I think we all have a sense that the Internet in general and smartphones in particular have dramatically changed our lives. But have we stopped to consider how? What if there's a tremendous advantage to be found in engaging technology differently? In getting intentional by creating well researched boundaries. What if those healthy iPhone boundaries are certain to gain an advantage in creativity, productivity, and connection? This is a series about how the Internet and its myriad devices impact our ability to think and relate to others. It endeavors to delve into our need to create boundaries for iPhones, the Internet, and the vast array of web tools. What's the value of conversation?

More and more today, we're communicating with the people in our lives through screens. While this has greatly improved efficiency, there are some drawbacks that have come with the decline in face-to-face conversation. My guest today, Sherry Turkle, has written a book (Reclaiming Conversation) about what we're missing when we don't engage with people in face-to-face conversation. In today's show we talk about what we can do to reclaim conversation with the people in our lives, and there are a lot of actionable tips that you can implement right away.

We know text messages can be crazy. We know they can be cruel. We know they can be hilarious. And as at least 21 percent of Americans know, they can make us feel closer together.  This week, we're going to examine those moments of closeness — when texting encourages intimacy between us, and when those messages really just create the illusion of deeper connection.  Case in point: We're going to take a deeper look at a company called Invisible Girlfriend, fodder for countless Internet jokes. Users sign up for the service, create a bio for their "partner," and buy a package of 100 texts, ten voicemails, and one handwritten note for $25. It was conceived as a means of "proving" a fake relationship status to nagging family members or sleazy coworkers who just won't get the hint, and it runs off of a rotating workforce of actual humans behind the scenes, stepping in and out of different girlfriend and boyfriend characters. However, even its founders have been surprised by the way people have started to use it: as a safe, anonymous, always-reliable sympathetic ear to confide in at any time of day. Take a look at their FAQ: (Invisible Industries FAQ) Sure, it's the premise of the movie "Her." But 80,000 people have signed up for an invisible partner - and it's not the only sign that there is hunger for this kind of service. In China, millions of people are sending messages back and forth with Xiaoice, a "sympathetic ear" texting service powered by artificial intelligence.  According to the experts, it's a social phenomenon that matters for anyone who wields a phone.  The people you'll meet in this episode: Kashmir Hill, editor of Fusion's Real Future, who got a job as an Invisible Girlfriend for a month. She wrote a story about her experience, and followed up on it through some pretty eye-opening conversations with a user.  "Quentin," a 30-something former customer of Invisible Girlfriend. He named his invisible partner Margo Roth Spiegelman, after the character in John Green's novel "Paper Towns." Kyle Tabor, CEO of Invisible Industries, who co-founded the company at a hackathon in St. Louis. Sherry Turkle, author of "Reclaiming Conversation." She says the desire for a sympathetic ear is growing, even though there are more and more places to "talk." EDITOR'S NOTE, 10/22/15: A number of listeners wrote in to say that our depiction of one of the main characters in this story – a man who uses a wheelchair – was not person first. They are all absolutely right. We are going to record a new version of the audio. Everyone should feel well-represented on our podcast.

Dr. Sherry Turkle is a renowned professor who has written extensively on how technology affects the way that humans communicate. You have no doubt experienced how communication has changed as you look around and see people not looking at each other, but rather at their phones. So just how has technology changed human interaction? Is…
