Recommendation

Empathy allows people to love and care for one another, and differentiates human beings from machines. Yet as people’s dependence on technology continues to rise, empathy appears on the decline. In this timely text, journalist Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips asks if developers might use the technologies that caused these problems to fix them. She found she’s not alone in pursuing this question. Phillips’s research takes her – and the reader – into a growing movement made up of developers, journalists, educators, advocates and others who see empathy as an essential component of future technologies.

Take-Aways

  • Empathy allows people to love, raise children and help their fellow human beings.
  • Increased social media use has a negative effect on people’s sense of well-being.
  • People in various fields question what role empathy will play in the development of new technologies.
