After I read this article, I really agree with something and I doubt about few things.  I agree with the problems that she explains in this article. Recently when we talk and keep using phone at the same time, our conversation is about very light topic and no one pay attention so much even though we feel it's not good. I feel we're obssesed by cell phone, we're addicted to cell phone and almost forget how to enjoy conversation.Cell phone is great human's invention. But our way of using cell phone doesn't make our "real connection" better. Therefore, we have to think about and solve these problems.
However, I'm wondering "Are we losing empathy? Have we ever expect world to work like app?" I understand our conversation is changing and becoming weird. But I feel we still can read others feeling, still have empathy. The example author uses in article says "She was almost robotic in her response.She couldn’t read the signals that the other student was hurt.” Does it happen because of only cell phone or technology? I'm still wondering. My sister, 15yrs old, also always use cell phone or laptop, but she's not robotic in her response and can read feeling, her friends,too. That's why I'm wondering if cell phone really can affect not only our conversation but also our humanity.
