         <description><![CDATA[<div>     Technology has a big role in our lives. We depend on technology in every things we do. We cannot deny that technology has taken over our lives. And nowadays we live in online community that we don't have a real conversation to other people. Instead we do conversation in social media. And it is easy to express ourselves in online community than to express to your family or friends. Our communication with other people has been different ever since technology has evolved and it has a big impact in our daily lives, which is both bad and good things.                                                         In Sherry Turkle's TEDTALK, she emphasized that technology have taken up all of our time. As I listened to her, I remember her one line "text are pieces of information that can even fake emotion that you will easily believe when someone text you "I Love You, but it is better for someone telling it to you in real life for you to see if it is sincere or truthful. In my opinion we need to take action on this because as we use technology to have conversation with someone the more we hide ourselves behind online community that make us more insecure and lonely. And because of that sometimes we try and get some attention on that online platforms. And we can't deny it, even in our studying we get distracted by technology. Technology ruins our way of communicating with one another.<br>      I believe that technology ruined our ways of communicating with one another in a way that when we have a bonding with our family or friends you will notice that everyone or most of them are using their phones instead of having a real conversation to each other or being there presently with one another. As time goes by it is now being normal for us in family bonding that we use gadgets instead of communicating with one another. And it makes our relationship less in communicating or less in engaging a real conversation. people would have forgotten the lives without technology for communication and we can not live without the aid of technology. It really helps us a lot in our everyday task that we do but if it is too much it would become a bad hobbit for us. It make us connected in online world but in real world we are lonely in a sense that we don't have a real conversation with other people anymore.<br>     I believe that technology have control over us. We focus more on the messages from our Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, etc rather than the word from our friends and families next to us.We really need to reconsider the effect the technology bring about and how to use it to create a better world. We cannot deny the positive effect the technology has for us and we are still enjoying this. What we should do is not to let it develop in the wrong direction. And s a student we should minimize the use of our gadgets in having a conversation instead we should expose ourselves communicating face to face to experience the real world that we are living in.<br>     </div>]]></description>
