Write an essay in which you compare and contrast related readings in Reading Critically, Writing Well:

Claudia Wallis’s “The Multitasking Generation” (p. 385-396) and Sherry Turkle’s “The Flight from Conversation” (p. 334-337).

Comparing and contrasting is a useful critical reading strategy; particularly applicable when writers present similar subjects, as is the case in the essays by Wallis and Turkle. Both authors write about the impact of technology on social interactions. In fact, Wallis uses Turkle as a source. Comparing is to analyze what the essays have in common; contrasting is to analyze how the essays differ.

Compare how the two writers handle what they perceive as threats from technology to social interaction. Think especially about how they approach the effects on people of relatively unrestrained use of technology:

  • Do they have the same sense about it?
  • Or are their attitudes different?
  • Do they provide a similar history of it?
  • How similar are their examples?
  • How different?

What common ground do these authors share? Review your responses to the “assumptions” sections in the material following both essays: For Turkle’s essay, you examined the role of conversation and having control of oneself (and one’s interactions).

In response to Wallis’ essay, you examined the value of thinking deeply and of face-to-face socializing:

_______

“Wallis quotes Stephen Cox’s complaint that his family members “‘rarely have dinner together anymore.’ . . . ‘Everyone is in their own little world, and we don’t get out together to have a social life’” (par. 15). Wallis also reports that researcher Elinor Ochs is concerned about “[w]hat happens . . . as we replace side-by-side and eye-to-eye human connections with quick, disembodied e-exchanges . . .” (par. 18). In addition, Wallis notes that “[m]any educators and psychologists” believe that parents “need to” help teens “spend time in the physical company of human beings” (par. 34), and she concludes her essay after a quotation from psychiatrist Edward Hallowell about social occasions teens are not engaging in when they are multitasking—family dinners, conversations, family ski trips—“‘it’s what you are not doing that’s going to rot your life’” (par. 36). To think critically about the assumptions in this essay related to the value of faceto-face socializing, ask yourself questions like these:

●How is socializing via e-mail or Facebook or other online platforms different from socializing face-to-face?

● What advantages does face-to-face socializing have over technological socializing? What are its disadvantages?

●Do you share Wallis’s view that socializing face-to-face is superior to the alternative? Why or why not?
