The ability to connect through technology then becomes the compromise that chatting online is "better than nothing". Turkle gave a talk for Google about her book Reclaiming Conversation. Aziz Ansari responded to Reclaiming Conversation by saying, "In a time in which the ways we communicate and connect are constantly changing, and not always for the better, Sherry Turkle provides a much needed voice of caution and reason to help explain what the f*** is going on."
