Ted Talk Sherry Turgle Analysis
In her Ted Talk Sherry Turkle Made it clear that our technological devices are becoming more poisonous to us than what we think. According to her as she is entitled it we are “connected, but alone”. We rely too much on our devices that they keep us from having real relations with people, real conversations with people. Our technology is limiting us to live under the threat of giving to our devices the places Human being are supposed to have. She Advance that conversation through Social media or Text messages, do not really link us to the people we are talking to. Her evidence are the ways in which we interact to each other in these text messages. However is the problem really the way we text each other?
New technology allows us to connect
with each other more than they divide us. This is especially viewed in the way social media link us to the people we need to connect with but are far from us. The fact that new ways of communicating are used is not something new to Humanity. Even the creation of languages, the creations of writing was a new way and better way to make ourselves understood by our fellows. And that is one of the fundamentals of human relations, we want to interact with each other, we want to show where we are, the way we feel and the best reason, give news about us to our beloved. This is simply Humanity. It is true that some people lose their time with human and spend them with those devices, but as technology is a great tool in society, it also has some disadvantages. The disadvantages comes when it is given too much time than what is deserve.

I often use social media to connect with people I know who aren’t and who are near me. It depends at the end of the person using the phone. People must be educated in order to not being used by their phones by to use their phones. Because once they are their phones masters, they use it wisely.
