It is true that in this generation, technology is a big help. But I agree when Mrs. Sherry Turkle said that "...our little devices are so psychologically powerful, that they not only change what we do, they change who we are. " An ironic example of this is when we say to a friend that we miss them through mobile phones and decide to meet and have some time to eat together. Then, while waiting for the foods that is ordered, instead of talking to each other, we scroll on our phones and "chat" or "text" with the people who we are not with in that moment. 

The little devices has been part of our life. It's like when you don't have that mobile phone everything will be mess up. That it should be always in your hand, you can't live without it. We even cry if it is lost or being taken from us, right? 

We people do knew the effect of this technology to us, especially the bad one. The main example of the bad effect is us being easily distracted when it comes to our phones, but we don't lessen the use of this little devices. Why not focus on the things we do?

I also agree when Sherry Turkle quoted "...we're lonely but afraid of intimacy". Because yes everyone is afraid of being too close with people, there's alot of reasons why. But I think everyone can relate to this situation, when we lose someone that is really close to our hearts, like that person betrayed you, and you don't want that to happen again. This leads to not showing our true feelings or our self to other people, because we're afraid of what might people think of us. So to lessen the feeling of being connected to others, we should accept our flaws and our self indeed. 

The Ted talk of Sherry Turkle entitled "Connected but alone" open my eyes for the effect of this portable devices. Being afraid to connect with others in our true selves. Being distracted because of our phones. Sherry Turkle did a great talk. Let's not depend on our devices, because that devices will not always be there for us. Start having real talk with real people that has real feelings, face-to-face.]]> 2019-10-28 03:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/malonzoicang/n8h83kwkbpjc/wish/403148042 malonzoicang https://padlet.com/malonzoicang/n8h83kwkbpjc/wish/415352769 2019-11-22 16:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/malonzoicang/n8h83kwkbpjc/wish/415352769
