Sherry Turkle

Sherry Turkle is an American sociologist and psychologist known for her work on the relationship between people and technology. She explores how digital communication impacts our social lives, identity, and emotional well-being. In her books, like "Alone Together," Turkle argues that while technology connects us, it can also lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection. She emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interactions and cautions against relying too heavily on devices for communication. Turkle advocates for a mindful approach to technology, encouraging us to reflect on how it shapes our relationships and self-perception.
