10 smartphone habits you should avoid by Andrea Bartz and Brenna Ehrlich
"Phones and tablets have made it oh so easy to communicate without using our voiceboxes."
This thought is a fact for sure, and it is shocking because most people like myself don't realize this until someone else says it. Yes, everyone has gotten used to texting, and tweeting and whatnot instead of actually hitting the "dial" button and actually speaking to someone. In my opinion, some people might find texting a little easier to lie, and to ignore/be ignored through. Honestly, who hasn't ignored a text before? Who hasn't lied in a text to get out of something? I agree that this should be changed because it's like we're becoming hermit crabs, hiding behind technology, behind our smartphones.
I agree with what you said. Now a days kids will say something through text instead of saying it to their face. Boys will ask a girl out over text instead of in person, and they will break up over text to. It seems like people are becoming hermit crabs with all the new technology that is coming out.
ReplyDeleteI agree because you don't how people really feel behind a text. They could really hate you deep down but act cool with you in person.
ReplyDeleteI think the joy of technology is that we can stay connected to people around the world without much effort. No letter writing, or making time for lengthy phone calls. But I think you're right in saying that it has turned us into hermit crabs. Other than passing texts and status updates, how much do we really connect with other people? And when it's so easy to lie to others, what incentive is there to tell the truth?
