A conversation is when two or more people exchange words on their thoughts, feelings or even ideas. I somewhat agree with Turkle’s idea of a conversation. I think that being able to have a conversation is very important. Like it says “Conversation helps students build narratives.” (347). But the part that I disagree on is when Turkle states that “because of technology people lack empathy”. Humans show empathy when they show compassion to someone else, and helping others. It holds value on the human experience because when you tend to do those things it really helps express to others the type of person you are towards others. And not only that I tend to believe that technology can help spark up conversation. I don’t completely disagree with Turkle about some people lacking empathy due to overuse of technology but like I said before there is a positive and negative to that statement. A good example of someone using technology to start up a conversation is like when you see someone’s post on social media and you end up seeing them later that day and bring up a conversation on that post. It’s still important that people understand how to conversate with others because if you avoid talking to people, it can leave you feeling really isolated and lonely. Over time, it might mess with your mental health, making stress or anxiety worse. You could miss out on chances to learn new things or connect with others, and problems might pile up because you’re not talking things out. It also makes it harder to understand and manage your own feelings, and the feelings of others. You might start feeling frustrated and your worldview might shrink because you’re not hearing other perspectives. I do think age factors into this whole turkles message on technology. I believe that once you hit a certain age you understand perspective on balancing these two things. You look at it more as a beneficial tool to communicate with others. With the maturity of getting older you learn to value in depth face to face conversations. With all that being said I do feel like getting into technology too young will affect your socializing skills and make things a little harder to understand in the journey of life.
