CONNECTED, BUT ALONE by Gaymarie Zamuco https://padlet.com/gaymazam/bf3kc1dw8vqx The Ted Talk entitled “Connected, but alone” by Sherry Turkle, showed many issues regarding the new digital age or the influence of technology on us. While listening to her, I learned many things about the impacts of technology in an individual life. There are some key points that I usually agree and disagree with what Turkle told about the impacts of technology such as Little devices are so psychologically powerful that they not only change what we do, they change who we are, We’re lonely but we’re afraid of intimacy, and Being together while not being together. It also catches my attention and made me think more. en-us 2019-10-04 11:42:56 UTC 2019-10-27 08:02:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.pics/1/image.webp?t=g_auto&url=https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f5a4.png We’re lonely but we’re afraid of intimacy gaymazam https://padlet.com/gaymazam/bf3kc1dw8vqx/wish/393492642     Nowadays we choose to be lonely than being with others because we are afraid to be rejected and to be hurt by the people who can we maybe become friends. To overcome loneliness, we find something in our devices that we can feel that we are connected in and comfortable with. For example, we browse our social media just to find entertainment to entertain/ to make ourselves happy. While watching or reading entertainment to our gadgets we also creating an illusion of having companionship in our mind. So sometimes, technology becomes more a best friend to us.

We all know that technology has the power to do various activities and changing the world is one of them. And when the invention of our little devices expands, our lives become easier, we can easily communicate with the people who are living in different places, it also provides information that we needed in a fast way by just clicking the search engine.

  

  As technology changing our world, it also changes who we are. Like in reading or watching videos from our social media through the use of devices like cellphones, we adapt the actions, the attitudes or the characteristics of the person we've read/watched. Because of the continuous development of technology, lives made easier and become more convenient though we people also became lazy and always depending on technologies.

You were together though everyone in the group is busy swiping, reading or texting on their phones and completely ignoring each other. Then what is the point of seeing each other? 
 
   We all know that our generations can't live without devices such as cellphones. Although we should think, what if you were in the situation that all of your company is busy with their phones while you keep on talking? What would you feel? Of course, you probably shout and tell them “put down all the phones and talk to me!”.We understand cellphones are always with us where ever we go, though sometimes we should learn also to put it down when we are in front of our friends or family to have real conversations and respect one another because you are there to enjoys being with each other.
