While I really wanted to get into this, and I'm sure it has some valuable principles for taking control of your socialization, I found the first few chapters too repetitive. Also, there are a lot of anecdotes about the way people interact (or don't) when technology is dividing their attention, but they feel unnecessary at this point in time. Isn't it a universal experience to notice people staring at their phones in restaurants, or texting people they live in the same household with? So it feels like those moments don't need to be narrated in detail anymore... if you're at all concerned about technology's impact on your life, you're already somewhat well aware of the pitfalls. I just wasn't up for reading more of the same. On a similar subject but way more readable is the book Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World. Interesting criticisms of the book here seem to maintain that, indeed, technology can help us communicate. In my experience that is a very limited communication. I see parents at the park with their children, not interacting with them or talking to them, but on the phone. I see them at dinner, each person with his or her own device, not communicating. Her most compelling arguments are regarding business and medicine. Facebook and Twitter and all the rest have simply allowed people to hide behind anonymity for their nasty little comments. These apps are not about communicating with others, but to them. I am by no means a Luddite; I have a Kindle, a "smartphone" and a tablet as well as a regular computer. Nonetheless, I find Turkel's arguments compelling and her style engaging. I would say this is required reading for the 21st century. A thoughtful, knowledgeable, well-researched book published in 2015 that anticipates many of the issues we face when we try to multi-task, avoid uncomfortable conversation, and engage with technology as if the objects we engage with are human. The author bases the argument on many interviews and a long history of working with schools, corporations, and universities around technological issues, and finishes with a thoughtful discussion of the pitfalls of engaging with robots and simulations in preference to engaging with other human beings, as if those artificial constructs were more human than actual humans. The book is already dated in 2019, of course (Facebook turned out to be even worse than she anticipated), and she has a utopian view of the nature of family conversations that betrays a certain amount of privileged nostalgia, but it asks many important questions. Perhaps the only gap in the book for me was a more thorough discussion of the neurological reasons why (for instance) children who are on their smart phones all the time might be less empathic, or why we might seek out multitasking even though we never get better at it and it impairs performance drastically; to me, the big problem with our embrace of technology is its incompatibility with the weird, wonderful, complex, mysterious human brain and the way it operates. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
