Is technology killing our hearts? Sherry has been studying the impact of tech and social media (robots! AI! smartphones! facebook!) on THE HUMAN SOUL since she graduated Radcliffe and started working at MIT back in the seventies.
I have always wanted to understand how the internet is changing our hearts. So no big surprise I’ve been a big admirer of MIT professor Sherry Turkle since reading Alone Together (2011) and Reclaiming Conversation (2015). Sherry recently wrote a memoir about her childhood and her journey through the male-dominated world of tech and MIT, and it’s a game-changer. Wherever tech ideas and men dominate, there are so many important questions about empathy…and Sherry has unlocked some of the answers.

Really interesting perspective on how technology shapes our emotions—I like how it digs into empathy and human connection. In my free time, I sometimes unwind with something lighter like the FNF Game which oddly feels like a fun way to disconnect from all that digital noise. It’s simple, catchy, and surprisingly relaxing after a deep topic like this.
Geometry Dash Wave stands out as a defining feature of the game, offering a perfect blend of challenge, rhythm, and excitement.
Sherry Turkle’s exploration of technology and its impact on empathy is so thought-provoking and really makes you reflect on how we connect today and speaking of exploring and discovering I’ve been playing World Guesser which is a game where you can guess real-world locations and learn about different places interactively
