We live in the age of distraction with our multiple technological devices which in a give us the sense that we are connected to the world, to our friends, to our loved ones and to the people that we share our lives.

I have been noticing the behaviour almost everywhere i go, groups of friends and families gather to be together for multiple reasons, yet their minds are elsewhere as most of the people have a device with which they can feel connected with other people that are not with them in the present moment.

I feel it is true that the technology is taking over our lives, it is already evident in the workforce or even when you see youths together they not to talk, they are together but constantly busy on their electronic devices. She mentioned that you cannot convey true emotions through technology or messaging online from personal experience, the message you are trying to tell people can often be misinterpret when it is not said in person.

So when we use social media platforms we feel like we are connected with everybody else when in reality, we are subconsciously drifting ourselves away from everybody else that we are physically with, for instance when i am out with my friends we tend to be in our phones uploading pictures with each other and updating our social media platforms about the fact that we have met up instead of having a proper conversations with one another. It is as if we feel the need to tell the whole world what we are up to or else we will somehow feel incomplete or not like ourselves, as what sherry turkle has mentioned in the video as well.

But technology has always inspired me as to what advancement we can achieve and now technology can make our live easier it is almost unstoppable the consumerism that has been built around getting the newest thing that there is.
