In the article, everyone stays inside and watches their viewing screens whether its TV's, Phones, Tablets, or even future devices we don't have yet. I believe it is realistic, but it exaggerates a little. I believe phones have impacted human interactions because nowadays people can and some will just text people who are right next to them instead of talking to them. Most people are so occupied by their phones, they don't really interact with anyone in person anymore. https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269018279 Paul Lopez]]> 2022-08-23 16:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269018279 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269037346 In today's society we use phones computers and television. like the story we can isolate ourselves while using our phone sometimes because we get hooked on what ever new things that can be on there ]]> 2022-08-23 17:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269037346 Technological progress has greatly impacted people in our society. People struggle with talking to others in person because how much technology just lets us talk over screens. I do think it is realistic. Other examples are communication, maturity, etc https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269146321 Trinity Slaven ]]> 2022-08-23 18:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269146321 the type of technology that is isolating us from others it phones. I say phones because there could be something big going on and nowadays kids our age won't pay no mind to it. https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269232903 giada]]> 2022-08-23 20:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269232903 Unfortunately this is true not only for the story but for the present world, just a bit earlier. The only point in life anymore is money, work, and technology. You cannot survive in this world if you don't have at least one of these things. https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269234477 2022-08-23 20:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269234477 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269235795 The "Pedestrian" really shows that because people have all these screens that they are addicted to, they aren't taking the time to go outside, or spend the time to talk to another person. I think Mr. Mead opted not to have a viewing screen because he chooses to put his health above a screen. He also enjoys walking and the peace that it brings him. I agree with his decision.

When reading you start noticing small but important details like it's 2053, the world is now based around technology and it's all we know. So everyone isolates themselves, not knowing how to be social and verbally speak to people since all we will know is just our screen in our hands. https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269237090 Hannah Bishop, Question 1.]]> 2022-08-23 20:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269237090 Answering #3 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269237195 Technology isolates us all the time, let it be watching the new on TV and getting caught up in current events, or on TikTok reading angry comments. We can be so horrible to each other and divide ourselves into all kinds of different groups and have people isolate themselves out of fear for not being accepted.

You can also notice how people will isolate themselves with there phones cause they have everything on there phones you can talk to people watch movies shop everything is online now a days.

Mr. Mead doesn't have a viewing screen so he can enjoy the real world. There is no one outside because they are all inside with their viewing screens.i agree with Mr. Mead because he can focus on the real world rather than a fake one on a tv.]]> 2022-08-23 20:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269237973 question 2 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269238129 In 'The Pedestrian' technology has turned the world lonely. Everyone gets their information from 'viewing screens' and there is clearly nobody enjoying nature or the world outside. Mr. Mead goes outside and has been doing so for 10 years at night and has never seen anyone else. Everyone is isolated from one another, and because of technology nobody actually has real relationships anymore.

So I can definitely see that aspect of technology isolating people from each other.]]> 2022-08-23 20:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269239691 Mick Gilbert, Question 2. :) https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269244029 In the text, it's described that almost every single house has something like a screen or device inside. For example, the light from the device coming out the windows or the laughter on a television. It has affected their society because everyone is inside and occupied with some form of technology. This technological change is actually pretty realistic, as we use devices for almost everything. That even includes this assignment which we are writing on our Chromebooks. A lot of other things have impacted us as a society technology wise. We usually communicate by texting, emails, or social media and we almost can't do anything without it. Technology is in our everyday lives and we don't really pay attention because of how normal it is but it definitely affects us. ]]> 2022-08-23 20:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269244029 The way people communicate now is through phones, It seems like now everyone is aways staring at screens. I do not think the change is realistic, Some examples of how technology has impacted human interaction is because when I was a little kid I used always be outside with friends and family finding new things to do without phones but now everything evolves around phones and I barely see those cousins and when I do they're on their phones. https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269284181 Audrina Jimenez]]> 2022-08-23 21:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269284181 LOGAN LO 2095758 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269632272  In the text, how has technological progress impacted the way people interact in our society? Do you think this change is realistic? What are some other examples of how technology has impacted human interaction? Why or why not

I think with our COVID years, we relied on technology more to interact with others because we weren't allowed to do that in person and were forced to stay home. Technological improvements and more apps coming out like snapchat and tiktok allows us to be able to have the freedom; to communicate with people without human interaction. Furthermore, I think these advancements it has brought us back in years. And towards the end of covid and people transitioned to being around other people more, we lost that interaction because when you're online a person is basically talking to a screen.]]> 2022-08-24 03:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269632272 question 2 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269774942 In The Pedestrian technology has impacted society by isolating others from real human contact. This is not realistic because people are too social to be isolated. Technology has also impacted human interaction by making it harder to build connections with others. -Mikey T.]]> 2022-08-24 06:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2269774942 Question 1 2209529 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2270129908 Mr. Mead chooses not to have a viewing screen because he prefers the feeling of walking and being present in the real world to being inside and watching a fake one. I understand why Mr.Mead would want to enjoy nature more but I don't agree with the all or nothing way the text implies.]]> 2022-08-24 13:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2270129908 3 https://padlet.com/176344e/vh6deo9w52ed9m2w/wish/2270245435 I believe it is extremely accurate because on most social media sites, you always feel so surrounded but alone. You feel like you have people following and watching you, but in reality, nobody's really there

The different types of technology we use today are phones, computers, TVs, and many more. But they have started isolating people from going outside and so many people are getting addicted to the technology. And if we keep getting addicted to are phones, we will all end up staying in our houses and not going outside to see nature.

In real life technology has impacted human interaction by helping us communicate, with things like phones or online meetings.

It changed a lot of people since COVID hit and made people have a long and hard time to communicate because we have been so isolated from each that, it just can mess up our social life.
