Social media isn’t just changing how we talk—it’s making us worse at conversation.
In this eye-opening clip, MIT sociologist and psychologist Sherry Turkle explains:
Why social media trains us to avoid real dialogue
How platforms keep us in silos, reinforcing anger instead of bridging divides
Why we’re becoming less skilled at talking across differences—and what that means for democracy
🔥 “Social media actively de-skills us.”
We are losing the habits of deep, meaningful conversation.
The result? A society that’s more divided, less understanding, and lonelier than ever.
🚨 Are we forgetting how to truly listen and connect?
