Does Technology Make Us More Alone? Audio
By MICHAEL GONCHAR Question of the Day: Technology is supposed to make us more connected. We can stay in touch with our friends all the time on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, and, of course, by texting. But are our smartphones actually getting in the way of real socializing? Could technology be making us more alone?
- Does technology make us more alone? Do you find yourself surrounded by people who are staring at their screens instead of having face-to-face conversations? Are you ever guilty of doing that, too?
- Is our obsession with documenting everything through photographs and videos preventing us from living in the moment?
- Do you ever try to put your phone down to be more present with the people in the room?
- Do you have rules for yourself or for your friends or family about when and how you use technology in social situations? If not, do you think you should?
- Do you think smartphones will continue to intrude more into our private and social spaces, or do you think society is beginning to push back?
