Is Social Media Really Social?

‘Look Up,’ written, performed, and directed by Gary Turk, is a lesson taught to us through a love story, in a world where we continue to find ways to make it easier for us to connect with one another, but always results in us spending more time alone.

As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle looks at how devices and online personas are redefining human connection. She says we need to really think about the kinds of connections we want to have. In her most recent book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other , Turkle argues that the social media we encounter on a daily basis are confronting us with a moment of temptation.
