Alone Together: The Impact of Social Media on Modern Relationships

This research delves into the concept that modern social remediations are leading us towards being "alone together," as explored by scholars like Sherry Turkle. Analyzing the transition from old to new social media, the study examines how connectivity through technology may actually isolate us. Scrutinizing Turkle's works like "Alone Together" and "The Flight from Conversation," it considers how platforms like Pinterest reshape interactions, identities, and communication. The project will culminate in a website featuring text, photos, and videos encapsulating key findings.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Do more recent social remediations suggest that we are becoming “alone together”? Becky Davis

  2. My Research • “Turkleasserts that the continuous connectivity afforded to us by our machines does not bring us to a place of communication with each other, but rather further isolates and distances us.” • -Sonia Sukenic • Case analysis by looking at the remediation of old social media into “new”social media and what suggests the element of being further separated with this “newer” form of media • -Sherry Turckle’sPublishings: “Alone Together,” “The Flight from Conversation,” and other sources’ critiques on her work

  3. “Scrapbooking” Commonplace book Pinterest

  4. Commonplace book -Structure of the Media -Ideas -Interactions -Identity Pinterest “The world was full of signs: you could read your way through it; and by keeping an account of your readings, you made a book of your own, one stamped with your personality.” “..on Pinterest, you won’t have to worry about having only “spam bots” view your shared media. But again, all of this must be taken with a grain of salt.”

  5. Letters  Facebook • “Unlike the old- fashioned relationships between pen pals, which necessarily took time because of the exchanges of letters but were often short-lived, Facebook offers the promise of immediate feedback and perhaps a relationship of longer duration. But at what price?” -Sherry Turkle

  6. Incorporating extra media • As of now, will be making a website with all the information of my paper within it • Will use photos, text, video, etc.
