    Professor Sherry Turkle highlighted her 15-year experience studying how technology alters human behavior and relationships in her TEDTalks presentation. Her research shows that while technology provides convenience, it can weaken human connections by replacing face-to-face interactions with digital ones. Families living together communicate less and focus more on their individual devices. Technology also allows people to avoid the difficulties of real communication by hiding behind screens. According to Turkle, technology offers solutions to human problems but risks replacing human qualities if it becomes a substitute for relationships, which require sustained personal effort to cultivate.

    SORIANO, BRENT JOSHUA P.

    BS CRIMINOLOGY / BLOCK E

    Technology is a powerful force for change that makes our lives much
    easier. Professor Sherry Turkle highlighted her 15-year experience studying
    how technology alters people and how it will lead us into trouble in her
    TEDTalks presentation. Although technology will undoubtedly provide us with
    a wide range of benefits that are suitable of us as creatures of relief and
    convenience, it will gradually take over the function of those who originally
    provided us with things that technology may cover up, particularly in the realm
    of communication.

    Turkle's research reveals that we are already accustomed to the unease


    that technology used to cause us when we first encountered it. She gave the
    example of family relationships being broken once technology became the only
    focus. Even though the same family lives in the same house, separated only by
    a thin layer of wall, they are all scattered over their many worlds. Either the
    mother is engrossed in her Facebook wall, the father is doing job research, the
    son is in a school group chat, or the daughter is busy tweeting.

    Worst of all, when parents demand their children's undivided attention and
    the children appear to reciprocate, but only give a sliver of it. It's the same with
    parents who merely confirm their children's whims without actually listening to
    them. We can safely assume that being separated from one another when using
    technology is unavoidable. We can easily obtain convenience by using our
    smart phones, computers, or other electronic devices.

    Second, human connections are complex and hard, but they are also
    rewarding. It goes without saying that in order to have a high-quality
    conversation, both sides must put in effort from the beginning to the end.
    When it comes to communicating, the mood, location, and loudness all provide
    significant challenges. As previously stated, man seeks convenience, so we
    choose non-contact communication, which can take the shape of a
    conversation, a message, a phone call, or even a video call. Technology, on the
    other hand, hides the core, the genuineness, of personal connection. We can no
    longer see, hear, or even feel what we're saying. When we're having touch
    conversation, we can choose not to utter the words we usually blurt out. We
    may lie since the other side won't notice if we don't listen; it's quite dishonest.'

    According to Professor Turkle, technology is lauded for its ability to assist


    humans, but it is also alarming in that it has the potential to entirely replace
    our flaws. It offers solutions to any difficulty that we are supposed to address
    on our own, particularly in the areas of socializing and communication.
    Because it provides us with pleasurable dreams, technology alters our minds
    and hearts. It provides us the feeling of camaraderie without the
    responsibilities of a relationship. Even if we are genuinely alone, we rely on
    technology to make us feel connected to the world.

    Professor Turkle's study with self-reflection is a wake-up call that the


    relationships we have are first-hand experiences that we cannot recreate. Years
    of contact communication help to shape and nourish them. Although it is
    difficult to maintain such relationships, we must put out effort and devotion
    that we cannot find in technology in order to create genuine and long-lasting
    ones. There will be times when we find ourselves in a difficult situation, but we
    must be responsible for ourselves and not retreat into isolation. We must
    handle the problem in order to continue to grow as individuals.
