ESSAY
Technology change our society and impact the world, It change
our lives very great. we are now letting the technology used its own knowledge than applying or using our own knowledge and skills. We rather use it every time. in what i been sees and experience just leaving home without phone is kinda painful for everyone. they use to hold phone always on there hand and always ask for an updates about whats happened to there loveonce or even whats happening in the society right now. In TED-Sherry Turkle's "Connected but Alone?". She talked about how impactful the technology in our lives with vast communication. using a new ways of showing what's really matters through online, thats why their is always have a big changes in everyonce life, someone wants to be alone all the time, they say its their big strengths of thinking and reminiscing to feel that it helps there minf released stressed but NO, it let you fulfill stress and erigible to depression and change you about how you interacting with people. The capacity of self reflection will lost and everyone will feel lonelier. She also said "Human relationships are rich and messy, theyre demanding and we clean them up with technology". people like in this time of pandemic are coping Interacting with their friends or social relationship are all been fade off and transilluminated of being so call "Goldilocks effects, not to close. not to far, just right". it also changed the perspective of showing the real emotions through action. there is even a words for a group of people goes out and they are all using or carrying gadgets not to bother by others are so called PHUBBING - a combination of PHONE and SNUBBING. whats really happened to the person talked without response of questioning back are kinda painful and broken to the part of the snubbing and not responding. Sherry turkles also address that "Being alone feels like a problem that needs to be solved" It shows that real-life conversation need sense of humour when talking, you will also feel love, happiness or laughter a kind of conversation that full of life and responsive. Not talking to itself is a cause of mental and emotional problems. Its add a thinking of the sender of the message of its not responsible to talk back are not in the surface level of communication so that you will feel devastated and adopt the same thing and your not both tend to talk to each other because of the feeling anxious. you do not really appreciated everyone presence. being alone and loneliness is not the same, we always confused those two together, I am guilty of being one of those people who go to other people because i do not want to be alone, however, we need to be able to handle the capacity of being alone. It is clear to say that technology has fully impacted our lives. Sherry Turkles "Connected but alone" was a beautiful talk to tackle. she fully explain how important real life conversation than applying too much of technology in our lives. let us still have the good and meaningful talks with ither people. It shows how real vision of having good relationship with them. Closing phone or any technology sometimes is a way to a better communication of communicating with real events, real people, and real feelings or real expression to express. Its the best and fulfilling to everyone. A real companionship and a real happiness.
