I admit that I also like receiving messages especially if they are from my loved once because in that way I was able to connect with them even though they are miles away from me.
When Sherryl said that we use technology to define ourselves by sharing our thoughts and feelings, I can totally relate to it because I have tried it before. There are lot of social media platforms that we use to express our thoughts such as twitter, facebook and such because we know that there is someone out there who can totally relate to us and someone we can connect with.  Sherryl’s words on we use to connect to not feel alone is true because for me through texting we can actually be with them although they are not here with us physically. Funny sometimes because we can even hear their voice saying those text messages that we receive. But when she added that “if we were not able to be alone, we are going to be lonelier” is also true. Not all the time we get to have someone talking to us even online so we should learn to be alone. 
I grew up without the sight of gadgets around me that’s why I get to spend time playing outdoor games. I was not also addicted so much into those social medias not until now I admit because I am in a city with free connections, signals and things I can use comparing to the place where I grew up. I am lucky somehow because when I’m with my family and friends, when we eat or sit together we don’t really focus on our phones, we focus more on our conversations, we only check our mobiles when it is something important but more than that we still enjoy the moment of being together because we have practiced that already for the past years and in that way I never really felt so lonely. It was really addicting but I learned to control it because gadgets, technologies and social medias are not real, what’s real is the people, the real conversation we had with them and I think that’s what really matter. ]]> 2019-11-01 10:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ocfemiadel7/c83ltofev93s/wish/405353407 ocfemiadel7 https://padlet.com/ocfemiadel7/c83ltofev93s/wish/412356082 2019-11-17 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ocfemiadel7/c83ltofev93s/wish/412356082
