Also, Sherry mentioned that the feeling of being alone triggered us to use our machines to offer a relief or comfort that we are not being alone because in social media we get a lot of attention from people or feel that someone is listening to you without having a face-to-face communication.  Sherry Turkle describes how technology is ruling over us right now. We humans are already dependent to the technology and losing our personal interaction with others.  Our everyday lives are now depending on social media, most of us can't live without checking our facebook account, posting pictures on instagram, posting on twitter or even texting. You can even see a family or friends who are together and not talking to each other because they are on their mobile phone surfing and browsing the net. Technology is a very big help in communicating because we were able to reach our loved ones even if they are miles away from us but let us not forget that personal interaction or conversation is more important and much full-filling.   Face-to-face communication is much better because you were able to listen and reflect carefully to what was the other person is saying. Because of too much use of technology, we tend to lose our good conversation with others and good memories you can build with them. Technology is a way for a better communication but people think that it is enough for them to make their life easier but it’s not because technology makes us to lose our confidence in communicating with other people and we forget to communicate properly in person because we are not used to have an eye contact because we are always on our screens.
