The unseen and ignored

The unseen and the ignored because "we flew from conversation." some ideas are also taken from the work of Sherry Turkle, "The Flight from Conversation". 🧷 we isolate ourselves, instead of truly connecting 🧷 we thought we are comforted, but the truth is we're talking with robots. 🧷 we are slowly letting the technology control us 🧷 we reduce the real human contact 🧷 we tend to be more lazy and waste most of our time especially on social media 🧷 we neglect the essence of true interactions for online technological connections And the list goes on. How about you? Do you have any idea about the negative effects of modern technology? Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting. ✍ Reference: Akram, W., & Kumar, R. (2017).

People and Communications

"So, in order to feel more, and to feel more like ourselves, we connect." , said Sherry Turkle. But with whom do we connect? Or should I ask, with what means do we connect? With the presence of mobile phones, tablets, laptops, computers, and such, we tend to give more attention to them than making time in conversing face to face to our friends, workmates, families, or to other people. Indeed, it does make communications easier and convenient for us. We can reach people we want to connect with even those from afar. However, by connecting virtually, we lost connection to the reality. For that, the biggest question I can come up with, is why? Why would people rather chose to communicate through modern technology? Are we comforted as we used those "little devices"? To those who are seeing this, you may comment down your reasons. ✍ image source: Invision App, Pinterest
