In that moment I realized that I’m one of the living proof of what she said. I am the person who loves to talk and get connected to other people with the use of different platforms but in reality I don’t get to have a proper face-to face conversation with other people. Let’s just take my friends as an example, when we go out you can see how far we are from each other even though we are eating at one table, and it’s because of our little devices we carry and use like a defense mechanism to not have a conversation with the person in front of us. Technology is evolving from time to time and we all have witnessed how it developed. But we did not notice how it cost our life the other way around by overly using it.
As I realize how I changed myself with the devices I have, I learned also how I can develop a more self-aware relationship with it and with myself. People tend to rely on devices because no one is listening to them and when they fully rely on it they can always control what they will say on text which means they can also create a new version of their self or should I say their ideal self and that could be a problem in knowing our identity as a person. From the talk, I became knowledgeable that practicing a face-to-face conversation is really important of knowing a person because with that you can listen and understand the person, also you get too see how genuine they are on what they say. It’s not that we should stop using our devices but we should know how to properly handle it without letting go of our responsibilities and who we really are. We should use our technology to have a life that we would accept and love.
