Sophie
Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I'm Sophie...

[pause]

Sophie
Neil? ... [sound of a smartphone] Neil!

Neil
Oh, sorry! ... And I'm Neil.

Sophie
Neil, please put down your phone. We're doing the show!

Neil
Yeah, I know. Hang on a minute. I just need to tweet something and... Done!

Sophie
And the subject of today's show is social media and its impact on our daily lives.

Neil
Hmm, well, I suppose it has had quite a big impact on mine.

Sophie
That's all too clear. Now, perhaps we can move on to today's quiz question?

Neil
Of course - I'm all ears. [sound of a smartphone] Oh, hang on, wait a second...

Sophie
There's a word to describe what you're doing, you know. Answer me this: Which word describes a situation where you're talking to someone and they suddenly look down at their phone or answer it? Is it...

a) phobbing?
b) phibbing?
Or c) phubbing?

Neil
Well, you've got me there, Sophie! I have no idea! But I'll guess that it's c) phubbing!

Neil
Well... interrupting conversations to check your phone has become a social norm, hasn't it, Sophie?

Sherry Turkle, American clinical psychologist and professor of the social studies of Science and Technology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
I interviewed hundreds of college students and what they talked about was what some of them called 'the rule of three'. And what the rule of three is which is that if you go to dinner with friends, you don't want to look down at your phone until you see that three people, let's say you're six at dinner, are looking up in the conversation. So there's a new etiquette where you don't look down unless three people are looking up kind of to keep a little conversation alive.

Neil
Professor Sherry Turkle.

Sophie
Why don't you try out the rule of three once in a while?

Neil
There are only two of us here, Sophie - do the math! And I'm listening to you... mmm... let me just send a text message here on my phone ... hang on...

[pause]

Sophie
Neil... NEIL! I'm not going to carry on with the show unless you pay attention!

Neil
Sorry, Sophie. Actually I was just doing that to wind you up. I wasn't really using my phone... Sorry.

Neil
But you can have moments of connection using your devices, you know?

Neil
Exactly. I was on the train this morning and there were a couple sharing a tablet. They were looking at the screen, and talking about what they saw there. It was very intimate, and they were... well... very connected. Let's hear from Ian Sinclair, British poet and filmmaker, talking about a new generation of connected humans.

Iain Sinclair, British writer, poet, and filmmaker
Physiologically we're changing, that almost the neck muscles are tipped over to look down. We're getting a new kind of human being. And I think - maybe I'm not getting it - but there is actually a different kind of intimacy emerging in which these instruments are very important.

So Iain Sinclair says our physiology is changing - our bodies, our neck muscles are changing - to make it easier to look down all the time at our devices! But it isn't only muscles that might change as a result of our techie habits - it's the way we interact - or engage with each other too. Ian Sinclair talks about a different kind of intimacy emerging - what does he mean, Neil?

Sophie
What a horrible thought!

Neil
Let's have the quiz question again Sophie to take your mind off it.

Sophie
OK. I asked: Which word describes a situation where you're talking to someone and they suddenly look down at their phone or answer it? Is it...a) phobbing? b) phibbing? Or c) phubbing?

Neil
And I said c) phubbing.

[Silence, as Neil is concentrated on his phone]

Neil? OK! I'll say the words myself:
etiquette
wind someone up
have a connection with someone
physiology
interact
intimacy
snub

Sophie
Well, that's the end of today's 6 Minute English. Don't forget to connect with us again soon! Come on Neil, connect with us! Come on!

Neil
Oh, yeah, hang on, just got to...

Sophie
Goodbye!

Neil
Hang on... I'll be with you in a second... Yes. OK. Bye!
