Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age by Sherry Turkle is an investigation into how a flight from conversation undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity — and why reclaiming face-to-face conversation can help humanity regain lost ground.
Based on five years of research and interviews in homes, schools, and the workplace, Turkle argues that we have come to a better understanding of where our technology can and cannot take us, and that the time is right to reclaim conversation — the most human, and humanizing, thing that we do.
Reclaiming Conversation, suggested to me by 📝Judy Estrin, was my first introduction to the phrase 📝Digital Empathy and the power that language afforded in discussing 📝Growth Hacking.
