Sherry Turkle

There is another way to think about conversation, one that is less about information and more about creating a space to be explored. You are interested in hearing about how another person approaches things—her or her opinions and associations. In this kind of conversation—I think of it as ‘whole person conversation’—if things go quiet for a while you look deeper, you don’t look away or text a friend. You try to read your friends in a different way. Perhaps you look into their faces or attend to their body language. Or you allow for silence. Perhaps when we talk about ‘conversations’ being boring, such a frequent complaint, we are saying how uncomfortable we are with stillness.
