“The Public Square,” author Sherry Turkle

Description

In “The Public Square,” author Sherry Turkle focuses on digital culture, asking readers to consider the kinds of information we divulge about ourselves whenever we venture online. She asks us to consider how much the “connection” afforded to us by the web poses at the same time real threats to our individual privacy. As we conduct more and more of our daily lives online, the author notes, we find ourselves generating more and more data for others to gather, inspect, and dissect. For the final exam, first identify three key points Turkle makes in her essay. Then, using your own experience to support your claim, write a five-paragraph, thesis-driven essay in which you agree or disagree with Turkle. Be sure to proofread for grammar before you submit your final exam.
