The novel, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other (2011), written by Sherry Turkle, presents many controversial points of view and demonstrates Many examples of how technology is replacing complex parts and relationships in our lives. The book is slightly divided into two parts, with the first focusing on social robots and their relationships with people. The second half is very different, focusing on the online world and its presence in society. Overall, Turkle makes many personally pleasant and unpleasant points in the book that bring it together as a whole. To begin, Turkle vividly describes how robots are used as a substitute for other people or other things and helps imagine robots in everyday life. My Real Baby was cited as an example, which quickly morphed into My Real Babysitter. My Real Babysitter is an idea born from the idea that children are too often left alone and that babysitters are sometimes difficult to find in an emergency. This robotic babysitter would replace the human version, integrating into daily life. The children explained that a robotic babysitter couldn't do much and that it wouldn't create a level playing field between human and robotic babysitters. Turkle came to the conclusion that children with energetic, creative babysitters would prefer to keep their own and that children with boring babysitters would prefer the robotic version. AIBO, a robotic dog, was also used as an example in the novel. In the case of eight-year-old Zara, she says that with a teddy bear you have to work to create the teddy bear's thoughts and feelings, but, with AIBO, he already thinks what he wants and expresses. Additionally, if the robotic dog bothers you, ...... middle of paper ...... sent to our mobile devices, pushing us to be alone. Turkle says: “…the network prepares us for the “relationships with less” that robots offer. » (p154). We are no longer connected based on our proximity to each other, but based on the current availability of our mobile devices. We always have our mobile devices with us, which makes us think we are always connected. She says the device serves as a portal to being connected to people and places. She goes further by describing how these mobile devices can symbolize and mark themselves as alone. I completely agree with this point. When I'm placed in an awkward position in a crowded place, I immediately take out my phone and fiddle around hoping no one will bother me. It symbolizes my departure in the situation from the physical domain to the mobile and technological domain..
