Summary Of Connectivity And Its Discontents
When reading Connectivity and its Discontents by Sherry Turkle, she speaks about how obvious it is that technology has been increasing advancely over the century. In Turkle’s opinion she thinks that most people would agree that technology has made a remarkably positive impact to our society, but if not managed right technology can really ruin or take over one's life. For example, social media is one of the things that has been slowly taking over the world. Because of this,Turkle thinks that social media is now affecting us and mental hurting our relationships with friends and family. I mean it used to be common more many to socialize and communicate a rather mundane way, we would wait for appointments and for public transportation. However,
now because of things like the Cell Phone, we tend to spend more time sending emails and texting then with interacting with others.
All in all I agree with Sherry Turkle, it’s true what she says. To many people are depending and circling their entire life around instagram, Facebook and texting. One example, I can give is my sister, everyday after work she goes and checks every type of social media she has. She texts and Facebook everyday, she shares and only socializes on social media. Goes to show people need to put down the phone and get up and go out and experience the real world.
