Attributes of The Future of Feeling PDF
An insightful exploration of what social media, AI, robot technology, and the digital world are doing to our relationships with each other and with ourselves.The Future of Feeling PDF
There’s no doubt that technology has made it easier to communicate. It’s also easier to shut someone out when we are confronted with online discourse. Why bother to understand strangers―or even acquaintances―when you can troll them, block them, or just click “Unfriend” and never look back? However briefly satisfying that might be, it’s also potentially eroding one of our most human traits: empathy.
So what does the future look like when something so vital to a peaceful, healthy, and productive society is fading away? The cautionary, yet hopeful, answer is in this champion for an endangered emotion.
In The Future of Feeling, Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips shares her own personal stories as well as those of doctors, entrepreneurs, teachers, journalists, and scientists about moving innovation and technology forward without succumbing to isolation. This book is for anyone interested in how our brains work, how they’re subtly being rewired to work differently, and what that ultimately means for us as humans.

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
January 1, 2020
I had high hopes for this book, but almost from the beginning I found myself wondering if the millennial author was too young to be writing it. Six years out of high school when Michael Brown was killed, the author’s interest in the subject began when she realized how reactionary she was on social media, how often she was right there in the flame wars.
“[A]s the more modern versions of social media have become obsessive parts of our everyday lives … their magic of creating bridges is sometimes overpowered by their capacity to help us burn them. … But when it comes to what really makes us human—our ability to understand and communicate with each other through empathy … I think we can adapt. I think we have to. What started as a fairly selfish search for hope about the future of empathy in a tech-obsessed world turned into a collection of stories about people working to ensure we take both empathy and tech with us into the future.”
The premise is interesting, but she lost me when she stated that “empathy … means different things to different people”. Empathy is not a sunset or Star Wars or a life-changing milestone. Empathy is an actual definable concept. It does not get to mean different things to different people!
The writing is accessible, but that is because it is also pretty simplistic. The book focuses a lot less on empathy and what to do about it in today’s tech obsessed world than it does on just plain tech. A better title might have been “How Tech Impacts Empathy”. Mostly, the book is just really all over the place.
Empathy has been a special interest of mine for some time. My youngest daughter has autism, so empathy and the teaching of empathy has been a frequent point of discussion at my house.
There are two types of empathy. There is emotional empathy, which involves basically being able to grasp what another person is feeling. My daughter actually has this in spades. If anything, her emotionally empathy is too finely tuned; she feels things too deeply. The second type is intellectual empathy, which involves being able to understand where another person is coming from and not just assuming they are stupid because they do not share your viewpoint; this is the one that presents a problem at my house. Most books are about emotional empathy. While this book addresses both types of empathy, albeit somewhat differently than I just did—cognitive empathy (understanding another person’s mental state) and affective empathy (responding emotionally to the other person’s mental state)–in the end it really focuses mostly on how tech increasingly isolates us and impacts our ability to interact kindly with others.
Another thought I’ve had over the years as I see young people (and their elders) with their eyes trained on their technology rather than on the people they are with is that it is a good time to be neurodiverse. The social skills that people on the spectrum have such a challenging time with are gradually being teched right out of their neurotypical contemporaries. Talk about revenge of the nerds.
NOTE: The most helpful part of this book to parents of autistic children is the discussion of FLOREO, designed by the parent of an autistic boy to help autistic people develop necessary social skills.
BOTTOM LINE: There are good books on this topic. This is not one of them.

Everyone should read this…
January 3, 2020
I had high hopes for a fair, empathetic read on the ways technology hurts and helps us communicate with others… However, by page 87 I could no longer ignore the authors thinly veiled contempt for men, white men, conservatives, Trump voters, etc.
It was odd for a book on empathy to really be about how just maybe, journalists, educators, and tech wizards can find ways to use technology to manipulate people’s emotions in such a way that everyone will finally understand the world from thier point of view…. Literally every example of tech she describes is a scenario where poor, brown people are being mistreated by white, racist conservatives. If you are a liberal you will love this book. It will tuck you comfortably into your echo chamber.
If you are conservative you should read it, so you understand how dangerous this technology is.
If like me, you are somewhere in the middle trying to bridge the gaping hole of political ideology, this is an eye opening example of how little empathy liberals actually have for people outside of thier box.

How to build more empathy in a society increasingly isolated
January 1, 2020
Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips handles a subject of incredible importance: how is our society changed by technology in terms of isolating the individual, desensitzing them to the human condition, loneliness and a lack of compassion at work and at home?
The problem with this book is that the subject is gigantic and while the author touches on important points, I feel she missed the central point on compassion and that is culture and family. The book has chapters that deal with technology as dehumanizing and dangerous (in terms of facial recognition and biometric data gatherers, so right, I give her points there), what big companies are doing that add to the problem (this was, I think scantily handled) and what could be done (again, here it was spend money in the community–what if you could take all the corporate profits from, say , and spend them what would you do to improve life? But didn’t address corporate culture across much of America, where workers are discouraged from taking vacation, sick days —even going home!) To me, that section on corporate awareness (or unawareness) of the issue of isolation and lack of feeling was very telling in the book.
The author does deal with the increased use cell phones by children and our obsession with Twitter and Facebook to substitute for human interaction face to face,.
But I felt there was a core missing from this book; perhaps it is my age: I’m probably decades older than the author and I have an inkling on what is happening compared to life in the Fifties, and in my parents’ generation in the Thirties. I didn’t find core psychology, sociological changes and behavioral considerations that I would have included.
So while this is a very good start on what is going on and why it’s dangerous, I feel the book continually misses the point.
Still, I recommend reading The Future of Feeling because it will wake you up to your own disconnection and perhaps you will get discussions going for making changes at home. Because we all can make changes where we are, like dropping a stone in a pond; the ripples spread widely.
I’d recommend this book highly for book clubs, therefore.

simply put it’s the worst book I have read in many years and I read at least 2-3 per month. While an interesting and important subject it’s done by someone with absolutely no knowledge of the implications of social media, just regurgitating articles from entertainment mags, pseudo-scientific journals, and academic studies.
imagine the most annoying, virtue signaling, millennial you know writing a 300 page opinion piece and invoking her discomfort over the 2016 election results at every inappropriate moment and you get this piece of mindless drivel. You’ll lose 2 IQ points by reading this book The Future of Feeling PDF
