Big Thinkers - Sherry Turkle [Sociologist] (1 of 3)

Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points.

This episode features Sherry Turkle. She is Abby Rockefeller Mauze Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a clinical psychologist. Born in New York City in 1948, she has focused her research on psychoanalysis and culture and on the psychology of people's relationship with technology, especially computer technology and computer addiction.

If you're interested in Sherry Turkle's Alone Together and how technology isolates us, you should check out the short film Do Not Disconnect for free on YouTube.

The short indie is about a girl who tries to break out of a world where everyone is plugged into their headphones. A world with no interaction.

Please take a few minutes of your time to watch this fun, heartfelt, and insightful short film!
