In the article, “Stop Googling. Let’s Talk.” by Sherry Turkle, she talks about how the impact of phones and how the use of technology affects our conversations and interactions with people. Turkle talks about how nowadays people divide their attention between multiple things, but the two main examples she uses are phones and conversations. By dividing their attention, people rarely dive into deep conversations with one another. They tend to have shallow conversations with people due to the fact that they are constantly checking their phones at every vibrate or ring, which, in shallow conversations allows them to go in and out of the conversation without missing any important details. Turkle states that, “the mere presence of a phone on a table between them (two people) or in the periphery of their vision changes both what they talk about and the degree of connection they feel.” Because technology takes up such a significant amount of time in our society today, it is important to recognize both the negative and positive effects that it can have on our everyday lives.…

You know that snoring has just got to go in room 101 to save us from dreadful, irritating snoring!…
Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999.

Today, you can’t walk into a room without seeing someone who is either talking on a cell phone or texting, checking their email. Today’s smart phones allow us to be “instantly” in touch with anyone who has a cell phone. You can talk, check your email or carry on a “conversation” without ever hearing the other person’s voice. In the 1950’s, there were only a handful of cell phones with embedded computer technology(1), today so many people have them we have become a society of instant gratification. Our solutions for being out of touch then, have created some of the problems of today.…
Talcott Parsons saw socialization as the process through which, individuals developed and internalized a sense of norms and values. Parsons theorized that there were three stages of socialization, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. After one has gone through these stages of development, an individual may go through a re-socialization process, and this happens in different stages through life, for example; they retire, become unemployed or institutionalized. Parsons noted that each stage of socialization had its’ own way of helping an individual internalize social norms and values.…

After having a job interview or an important talk with a friend, do you ever ask yourself “why did I shake his hand” or “I should have spoken more clearly and slowed down?” After watching Amy Cuddy Your body language shapes who you are, I believe the main purpose of the speech was to teach people a valuable tool while interacting with others. She emphasizes a lot about the way you present yourself and even the choice of posture you choose. While interacting with others, people gather personal opinions of you when they are observing and analyzing who you are. Thus being said a lot of the strategies she teaches you seem to work and are also backed up by real data.…

Cell phones have changed the way society thinks, operates, and communicates. One advantage of the cell phone is that it allows it’s users a wider opportunity to communicate by a principal called frequency reuse.
