This Ted talk was called Connected, But Alone. A women shared her thoughts about how she feels that the internet and other online connections are taking over our lives. She even talked about how she also is used to going on her phone and getting texts from her daughter and other people but there are a lot of people now that use text and email to communicate rather than actually having a live conversation. There were a lot of other peoples opinions that she got and their thoughts on our world now, and she found out that people even think that communication over the internet or electrical devices are being used more often. People use online resources to get over their feelings of being lonely. What people don't understand is that since they're using that as a solution, it is actually creating more of problem because they are not interacting with the real world. Once they are alone in the real world, they probably won't have any clue of what to do to help pass their time or get help. Even though she wasn't telling people that connection with the internet is bad, she was giving people a heads up that too much could result to a big problem.
Do you think that if people had their connection with online communication taken away from them, they will be able to cope with the real world?
Do you think that if everyday, newer and newer devices to take us from the real world are being made, one day people will lose everything from the real world and depend only on those screens?
