In our generation technology is now part of our everyday life; we consider it as our needs instead of treating it as our wants. We usually use this for entertainment, and it helps our work faster and easier. As a student we also use this for academic purposes but most of us we use this for communication. Social media is the one we are using to communicate and also the number one who we spend most of our time, as we can see almost of us has our own accounts like facebook, twitter, instagram and others. We used this accounts in expressing the things we want to express or in short to communicate. After hearing Dr. Turkle’s speech she stated a lot of facts that the most of us can relate to. We loved to take photos posting it in our walls, and having a chat that would distract us and would greatly affect our own social life. This includes what was really happening now in which we tend to have a chat using our gadgets than to talk to them face-to-face. For example when I'm with my friends especially when we are in a place where it has a free wi-fi, all of our attention are focused on our gadgets scrolling on social media, taking pictures, and having a chat with other friends. Because of that instead of talking and having a bond with each other we wasted our time in useless things. In communicating using social media, we think that we can express more our feelings towards each other but in reality we are not sure if the people we are talking to is sincere or really expressing their feelings. So for me the best way to have a good conversation is face-to-face. Observing what was really happening now I had realized that people now days are very dependent with machines or gadgets. That leads people to become lazier. "Robot can't empathize” as Dr. Turkle said, we may talk and play or entertains us but they will never understands us. So for me be careful in putting your own life to technology because they are only permanent in this world and would only destroy our social life, find more time to connect with your families and friends personally. Because in the future we would never know what might really happen.]]> 2019-10-28 12:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/faustinamay_capuyan/gotrobhxvi5u/wish/403261498
