Wonderful, thought- provoking read by #SherryTurkle. There are many great aspects of living in the age of social media, texting, email, etc. Finding communities that can offer us support, the accelerated access to information, etc. But I think it's important to figure out ways that we use these things consciously and construct points in our lives where we actively take breaks from engaging with our devices. #ReclaimingConversation -------- "It is only when we are alone with our thoughts- not reacting to external stimuli- that we engage that part of the brain's basic infrastructure devoted to building up a sense of our stable autobiographical past...So, without solitude, we can't construct a stable sense of self. Yet children who grow up digital always had something external to respond to. When they go online, their minds are not wandering but rather are captured and divided.
These days, we may mistake time on the net for solitude. It isn't. In fact, solitude is challenged by our habit of turning to our screens rather than inward...People who grow up with social media will often say they don't feel like themselves, indeed, they sometimes cant feel themselves, unless they are posting, messaging, or texting. Sometimes people say that they need to share a thought or feeling in order to think it, feel it....with this sensibility we risk building a false self, based on performances we think others will enjoy....In recent years, psychologists have learned more about how creative ideas come from the reveries of solitude. When we left our minds wander, we set our brains free....New ideas are more likely to emerge from people thinking on their own. Solitude is where we learn to trust our imaginations...So it is not surprising that today young people become anxious if they are alone without a device. They are likely to say they are bored. When we reach for a phone to push reverie away, we should get into the habit of asking why. Perhaps we are not moving toward our phone but away from something else. Are we hiding anxiety? Are we hiding from a good idea that will demand difficult work? Are we hiding from a question that will take time to sort through?"
