The speaker, Sherry Turkle spoke about how technology is used and how communication works in our life. The technology is psychologically powerful because those little devices can really affect and change human life. This technology is now making a bid of how we care to each other or how we care about ourselves.

Here are some important details that Turkle said, first, "Alone Together" being together while not being together. It's like you are with each other but you are not talking because you are using your mobile phones. People used to text than talk, they found it more comfortable and people now a days expect more technology than others. Second, "Goldilocks effect" which is to develop face to face communication. No matter how connected you are to people, you will always feel alone. One of the example is "Parents is texting during breakfast while their children is complaining about not having their full attention'. That is why technology is taking us away from people or human communication because social networking is always there. Lastly, "Conversation-Connection". They don't really work for learning about each other. Being alone feels like a problem. Solitude is not a bad thing, because sometimes we need to spend time alone. They made social media's to have an automatic listeners. If no one is willing to listen about your thoughts. Social media makes all of us a bit busy but still we need to learn how to listen to each other. Face to face communication is the most important aspect we should have and develop.

Our life is getting better because technology keeps on changing and updating from time to time. Although we have to keep in our mind that this technology has a lot of negative impact to us. It can either change the way we act, or it might as well change who we are. Life is not all about technology, so we better not expect a lot from it. Communicating with others will be our best choice. It ultimately determines the quality of our lives.]]> 2019-10-04 14:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/delacruzalliyah14/EM1A/wish/393602165
