SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY

The image of a man and a woman hugging while still holding onto their phones perfectly portrays
that in this modern digital age, it is not uncommon to see people glued to their phones, even in
moments of intimacy. It reflects our society's increasing dependence on technology, even in
moments that traditionally call for undivided attention and connection with another person. This
image serves as a reminder of the potential disconnect that can occur when our devices take
precedence over our relationships. At the same time, this image may also highlight the reality of a
society where communication is largely facilitated through technology, the presence of phones in
moments of physical connection may not necessarily indicate a lack of emotional engagement. It
could be a symbol of how individuals maintain connections with others beyond physical proximity,
utilizing their devices to stay in touch with loved ones even when they are physically apart.
