Emily Fisher Alone Together By Sherry Turkle
“ELIZA” • Program designed to act as a psychotherapist • Acted as an outlet, although the users were not actually speaking to anyone • The “ELIZA” effect – “human complicity in a digital fantasy”
“The Singularity” • The moment when all is technically possible
“Alive Enough” • Phrase used as a measure of relational readiness • Children born after the 90s have had to put distinctions between living objects and non-living objects based on traits other than movement
Staying Connected • People have become obsessed with their cell phones • Brings about danger, such as distracted driving
Anxiety • Anonymity of technology • Withdrawal • Avoiding confrontation
