Can You Hear Me Now?

Believe

It’s easy for me to believe what Sherry Turkle is saying how society is over using and is crazy about their electronic and not paying any attention or communicating with people or others. I believe it’s true because I see people walking at school with their friend’s texting; chatting or one is on the phone while the other friend is talking. Also, another example, when I’m at work and one of the costumer come up to the register and paid for his stuffs, I’m talking to him and greeting him,” like how was ur day?” he didn’t respond back to me because he had on his ear pieces and was  listening to music. I mean that was rude, because when you in public or anywhere at least it is nice to stop what you’re doing and then do it after you done. I also agree when she say people speak Blackberry addition. Well right now is Iphone. Oh my gosh everyone has an iphone, I mean I don’t know what so good about an iphone, others smart phone does the same. Also when the new Iphone 5 comes out, people go crazy and they would trade or go buy it. Geezz……. It’s crazy how people get addicted to buying expensive electronic like nothing.  Also parents can blame their children for the uses of phone like texting, face booking and chatting because you give it to them for one reason is to pick up your phone call. I mean now a day, everyone is using technology to communicate, its fast, easy and basically its very useful.

Doubt

                Its hard for me to doubt what Sherry Turkle is saying because I pretty much agree with what she is saying that people are overwhelmed with their electronic. Also, how all of these technologies are very addicting to society and it will never stop because so many new thing comes out every year, which it tempting for people to wanting to buy them and test them out. I mean I must say, when I see new things comes out, I like to look up the review of the products before buying it, because I don’t want to spend so much money and regret on the  products that I bought, because it does happen to everyone.

Questions

Have it happen to you before when you’re talking to someone and they were on their phone or doing something else? Do you text message or check your email with your phone? Would you get mad if your children are always on their phone and would take them away from them? Do you believe in avatar and virtual life? Can you think of something else to replace a phone, if there was no phone in this world? Do you think technology should be banned?
