PURC CANVASSS
a. Identify the main idea of the essay.
Turkle's major point in this piece is that we've lost our ability to converse and instead rely on text and
social media to connect. Turkle's fundamental point is supported throughout the essay by numerous
examples. ‘We are tempted to imagine that our small “sips” of online connection add up to a large
gulp of actual discussion,' Turkle writes in paragraph 12.
b. How does the writer support the main idea? Enumerate the examples provided.
Throughout the article, numerous examples support Turkle's main point. "We are tempted to think
that our little "sips" of online connection add up to a big gulp of real conversation," says Turkle, but
they don't. E-mail, Twitter, and Facebook are all useful in politics, business, romance, and friendship.
'However valuable they are, they are not a substitute for conversation.' She also claims that a "FACE-
TO-FACE conversation takes time to unfold."
 
c. According to the writer, what is the difference between “conversation and coM}?nnection?” What
does face-to-face conversation teach us? How?
Connection is defined as "first contact" by Sherry Turkle, whereas conversation is defined as "further
contact." The connection enables the ability to communicate. Face-to-face communication teaches us
how to have more meaningful and genuine discussions. We are able to express and relay messages
in a straightforward and non-exaggerated manner. Furthermore, in my opinion, connection is an
attention getter, whereas conversation is a discussion of resonance. 
d. What does “being alone together mean”? Cite specific instances.
-These are examples of how technology is transforming how individuals interact with one another and
construct their own inner lives, as Sherry Turkle points out in her insightful new book, "Alone
Together."
 e. Explain the title. What does the “flight from conversation” do to us?
-“flight from conversation” urges us to think about how technology and technologies might alter what
we do and who we are. Furthermore, technology teaches us how to connect even when we are not in
the same room. Rather of having a real discussion, we prefer to text or send emails on media sites. In
a strange sense, we were becoming accustomed to being alone together.
f. Explain the following lines:
 

1. “We expect more from technology and less from one another”

We place far more faith in technology than in other people or ourselves.

2.“I share, therefore I am”
Throughout technology, we define ourselves by our actions, emotions, and thoughts.
Getting our phones, sharing, publishing, chatting, and emailing makes us feel connected and
has helped to build a new way of being.
g. What does the writer suggest we do so we can make room from conversations?
According to Sherry Turkle, we use a dialogue with others to learn to converse with ourselves. We
need to be responsible enough to use technology to improve our communication abilities.
Furthermore, she believes that we can engage the person in discussion by making them feel at ease.
Being technologically liberated. Making a conversation worthwhile or discussing topics that are
extremely essential. Even if it's dull or you're not interested, pay attention.

1. Do you agree with the writer? Explain your answer.

 Yes, I strongly agree because communication is essential. Turkle taught us that face-to-face
communication is superior to technology. It will assist us in expanding our knowledge and learning
new skills. You can grow through sharing information, experience, and opinions. She also designed it
based on her beliefs about what is right in today's technologically advanced society, and she has
spoken about it to encourage people to do what is right for them and I loved that.

PURC CANVAS PASS IT ON CANVAS

A. REMOVED CULTURAL BARRIERS 

-We all come from various backgrounds and have distinct cultures. Misunderstandings arise as a result
of differences in our behavior and personalities, such as body language, thinking, communication,
manners, and customs. If they come from a different culture, some people will misinterpret the
information.In addition, culture is frequently blamed for communication breakdowns. When people
from different cultures try to communicate, the other person's body language and conduct can
influence them. People from many cultures may now communicate more successfully because to the
advent of global communication.
B. INCREASED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES 
The expansion of global connectivity opens up new commercial opportunities for businesses. As a
result, you increase your chances of having successful business transactions by leveraging electronic
communication to establish personal ties with Eastern businesspeople. In today's environment,
numerous organizations hire people from all over the world. Technology also makes it easier to
connect with suppliers and customers throughout the world, as well as to streamline business
connections by improving ordering, delivery tracking, and other tasks. Because of this form of
communication technology, many firms are able to take advantage of opportunities in other countries
or regions, boosting global economic growth.
C. CHANGED THE ENVIRONMENTAL, CULTURAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ELEMENTS OF
THE WORLD
 Assessing the impact of political, economic, socio-cultural, and environmental factors on health-care
policy in particular. There are initiatives, organization programs, and planning procedures that help
people become more visible. Globalization offers underdeveloped countries with new chances by
offering them access to new markets all around the world. Others can benefit from globalization by
improving their business capacity and being able to function on a global scale. Global communication
is a huge aid in communicating with others in the most efficient way possible. The expansion of global
communication has had a significant impact on society. In fact, as electronic communication has
replaced traditional communication, society has become more global.
