Connected, but alone by Sherry Turkle

            In TED2012, Sherry Turkle explained about the impact of mobile technology as well as social media to communication nowadays. After watching her speech, we can understand that mobile social media has played a very important role in the modern society. Almost every aspect in our life is involved with mobile social media which makes us become more and more relied on it. It’s undeniable that technology innovates the way of communicating, however, it  also decrease the ability of face-to-face conversation which makes people become more lonely. We can connect with millions of people around the world but can’t even have a real conversation for just a few minutes without mobile devices. This is a very concerning problem because the more modern we are, the less socialized we become. To solve this problem, the best we can do is to change ourselves, try to have some moments staying away from mobile devices and be more socialized.
