Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle

An engaging look at how technology is undermining our creativity and relationships and how face-to-face conversation can help us get it back.

There is a lot of food for thought in this book, especially when it comes to use of technology and how both kids and adults interact.

I would have given it four stars, but it was just a bit longer than I felt like was needed - the Cliff Notes version would be just as impactful.

Still, for parents or counsellors, anyone looking to engage in conversations or just sick of their own “iPhone-induced ADD” – there's something here for you!

boring, a little out of touch, not really what i expected either

Every educator, K through graduate school, should read this book. It is a fascinating description of how life is being changed, not in a positive way, by electronic devices.
