Corajoso e provocativo artigo de Sherry Turkle no NYT (aliás, é top na lista das preferências dos leitores) sobre a aparente contradição entre a escassez de conversas/diálogo em tempos de alta conectividade -- sobra conexão, falta contato e reflexão, analisa a pesquisadora do MIT. Para mim, o argumento central da autora é este: "FACE-TO-FACE conversation unfolds slowly. It teaches patience. When we communicate on our digital devices, we learn different habits. As we ramp up the volume and velocity of online connections, we start to expect faster answers. To get these, we ask one another simpler questions; we dumb down our communications, even on the most important matters. It is as though we have all put ourselves on cable news. Shakespeare might have said, “We are consum’d with that which we were nourish’d by.”
And we use conversation with others to learn to converse with ourselves. So our flight from conversation can mean diminished chances to learn skills of self-reflection. These days, social media continually asks us what’s “on our mind,” but we have little motivation to say something truly self-reflective. Self-reflection in conversation requires trust. It’s hard to do anything with 3,000 Facebook friends except connect".
Mais uma crítica, ainda que indireta, ao Conectivismo de Siemens.
E uma reação às ideias de Turkle.
