Teenagers Texting Ears Analysis

Technology affects our life so much that it got to the point where it is keeping us away from more and better opportunities. According to Jennifer Ludden, the author of the article “Teens Texting Soars; Will Social Skills Suffer?” “As her students are increasingly immersed in texting, Halkett also finds them increasingly shy and awkward in person” (14). Students are getting shy, which means they do not participate in activities on their community or school. They are losing the opportunities to meet and work with a lot of new people, gain new experiences and enhance their abilities. Teenagers feel shy and awkward, so they tend to stay at their houses. From the article “Teenagers and Social Networking: It Might Actually Be Good for Them,” Clive
Thompson agree that “It was creating a uniquely shallow and trivial culture, making kids unable to socialise face to face.” Thompson argues that instead of actually talking to someone in person, teenagers talk to their friends and sometimes even to their family through cellphone and social media. While the public might believe that technology made it so much easier to communicate with someone, researchers have shown that we only talk to others through social media and not face to face. Kids now communicate to other people through text, Facebook and etc. because it is ‘easier’ but it is actually better to talk face to face. Actually seeing other people’s reaction and emotions help us communicate way better.
