Turkle Talk

Sherry Turkle's provocative views hold that the Internet provides a radical departure in how we interact with one another.

MULTIPLE SELVES
Communication in cyberspace lets people explore their personalities by creating new on-line personae.

SOFT MASTERY
The Internet is turning computers from computational devices into tools for collaboration--playing to the way women approach machines.

GLOBAL TO LOCAL
Ironically, the sweeping, global reach of the Internet is leading people back to local communities and resources.

BRICOLAGE (tinkering)
Those able to blend their virtual experience and ''real life'' are improvisational tinkerers--which includes many computer-using children.
