Technology is overwhelming us with information, driving out the sound of human voices. We have gained the advantage of nearly constant interaction with others but make only partial connections; in the process, we are losing something precious. In this witty and intelligent book, prominent psycholinguist John Locke takes a hard look at what we are really missing as intimate forms of self-expression vanish. \u003cbr\u003e Talking is the way we build and maintain relationships. Talking is the way that we learn to trust one another. But we now spend our days exchanging electronic factoids, leaving us little time to \"just talk.\" Without intimate conversation, we can't really know others well enough to trust them or work with them harmoniously. We even lose track of our own selves -- our sense of humor, our own particular way of looking at things. We become lonely. \u003cbr\u003e Keenly perceptive and though-provoking, \u003ci\u003eWhy We Don't Talk to Each Other Anymore\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocative look at how we live with -- and without -- one another.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44300628590847,"sku":"9780684855745","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_c7fe0904-9a24-4b27-86d5-082e32fe9cac.jpg?v=1774451025","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780684855745","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
