CONVERSATION

                                                           

In a recent issue of the New York Times there was an interesting article on conversation in today’s world. The author reflects on the contrast between face-to-face interaction and communication at a distance from the other party. The article “The flight from Conversation” by Sherry Turkle  was in The New York Times Sunday Review published on April 21, 2012 and has prompted many online comments. 

The book, Conversation, a History of a Declining Art, by Stephen Miller, may also be of interest to you. This book is included in our collection and may be checked out. A review appeared in the New York Times Are We Having a Conversation Yet? and other periodicals at the time of publication and later.
