INTRODUCTION

In the article that I have read entitled "The Flight from Conversation" which was published on
April 21,2012,in The New York Times.This was written by Sherry Turkle,a professor of the social
Studies and Technology .This article demonstrates how we,people use digital gatdgets or
technology in our daily lives or even through social medias in which it emphasize how modern
day technologies over the years has change profoundly the way people communicate with each
other .Also,it explains why individuals prefer to communicate through technology rather than
face-to-face communication.

This article revolves around the concept of conversation on how our generations nowadays are
losing our skills of conversation or ability of communicating with other people via face to face
because our generations nowadays are into communicating with our loved ones and with other
people through social media using such technologies

Turkle believes that we live in a society where electronic devices limit our growth as human
beings.While reading this article ,as Turkle said WE'VE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO A NEW WAY OF
BEING ALONE TOGETHER, with this line I truly feel that it really hits us.Electronic devices change
us the way we used to be,we are staying and being together but we have rare connection in
between.We are free to go anywhere,wherever we want and whenever we are free or is
supposed to be free,so our friends even we're not together physically or communicating in
verbal,we are connected by in the screen /device such as in Facebook or Messenger.People are
more focused on the screen rather than communicating with each other .In addition,,this make
us a big change that happened in our daily life because of this technology ,we even forgot to
go out hung up with our relatives or our friends.Because of technology we like to be alone
playing with our gadgets and sometimes our friends are calling us like KJ(Kill Joy) because
whenever there's an occation we don't want to join.We used to obsessed in using online world
with our gadgets because we start not to communicate with other people face-to-face
because we just depending on our new way of communication with our friends.Some of us like
to be alone in our room spending time with such devices,because of this we seldom to talk
with our friends,family or people around us without even thinking this can damage our
closeness with those people.This line tells us that because of technology we forgot the things
that are more important.However, I think it can't damage communicating face-to-face by
thinking that we have to remember that our lives are not just focused in our technology but,our
lives are in the outside communicating with other people that we used to before,we must limit
our time to be alone in using technology by spending also with the people around us physically.

Electronic devices change us the way we used to be,we are staying and being together but we
have rare connection in between.We are free to go anywhere,wherever we want and whenever
we are free or is supposed to be free,so our friends even we're not together physically or
communicating in verbal,we are connected by in the screen /device such as in
Facebook,Messenger,Twitter.People are more focused on the screen rather than
