not really imitating humans because they are missing something the most important thing in human society‚ which is sharing emotions. Turkle says “ I am troubled by the idea of seeking intimacy with a machine that has no feelings‚ can have no feelings‚ and is really just a clever collection of “as if” performances‚ behaving as if it cared‚ as if it understood us” (Turkle 267). Robots easily accept any amount of memory and other information that are applied to them by humans. However‚ many people doubt

programs are fortunate. It is here in these educational repair shops that Sherry states these students discover that they have been cheated by the educational system.

Final Draft: Slater vs Turkle How can Turkle’s concept of “authenticity” help us see Slater in a new way? Both face-to-face interaction and social networking sites (including Myspace‚ Twitter‚ and Facebook) are forms of staying in contact with friends and family. While Nora from Turkle’s “Alone together” communicates her engagement and wedding date via email to her closest friends and family‚ she could have easily announced it face-to-face‚ at a party or through a Facebook event.

Relationships: The Impact of Technology on Society in Sherry Turkle and Malcolm Gladwell Technology has a great impact on our authenticity of a relationship because many people have no concern for the person on the other end. When one has a face to face conversation with someone‚ body language and facial expressions show the person’s emotions. One can represent love‚ hope‚ fear‚ or happiness in an eye to eye conversion‚ but in terms of texting one cannot show real emotions. In Sherry Turkle’s essay “Alone

The Art of Loving is a slim volume of only a little over a hundred pages yet it packs one hell of a punch. Written some fifty years ago‚ here is a more damning indictment of modern society than anything the existential crowd of Bertrand Russell‚ Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre could cook up. The Art of Loving is a very concise and pithy read‚ it is written in the terse lucid style of gospel‚ each word in each line serving a critical function. This is not a writer’s style nor is a critic’s but that
