Lessons from “The Flight from Conversation” by Sherry Turkle

Sherry Turkle thinks that every day the population is losing the freedom of be a unique individual with the capacity of having a conversation with others apart from an electronic device. Mostly people nowadays utilize virtual conversation than face-to-face conversation. She believes that technology should be use in other areas and not much in the individual life style,  been able to put a device a side should be easy, in order to be part of those moments that wouldn’t came back anymore, be able to have a chat between a boss and a worker , friend to friend or even between family members (Rene, 2014). Because we are now dependent with the technology, we can’t live if we don’t touch our cell phones, mostly people depends their life on social media , some people post every minutes of their lives to show what they are doing, they used social media platforms to show to everybody about their lives. For me, it is not good because when doing that you are now telling your whole life to everybody and everyone knows you already even you don’t know everyone, you don’t have any privacy at all. But we don’t need to stay away or being anti-social media. People are stronger than social media because we can easily think before we act and think before we speak. There is nothing to be worried about if we are wise when we share something on social media. Again, don’t too dependent on social media.
