题目内容
12.Wang Yun,21,from Beijing Un iversity,found that her friends were all occupied with their smart phones during a high school friends meeting.Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and sending them to their micro blogs.For a while,silence fell."I thought we had a lot of topics to s hare,but few people were interested in talking,"she said."It seemed that there's a huge gap between me and my friends."The New York Times published an article recently,feeling sorry for the"death of conversation".It suggests that while new technologies such as cell phones and e-mails make us feel more connected than ever,they're actually driving us away from people around us.
Sherry Turkle,author of the article,says people are accustomed to a new way of being"alone together".Actually,sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts.But bits and pieces of online connection cannot take the place of a real conversation.
