"Facebook" and "Twitter", very common tools nowadays that many people cannot seem to live without. What makes them so interesting? Recently, it became more people to socialise and interact with one another through these networking sites. Imagine the convenience of being able to chat with your friends with just a click of your mouse. Share information, movies, games, with one another on these sites. Best of all, it could be done in the comfort of your own home. One would be very pleased with all these applications.
However, I would like to ask, are getting over-dependent on these technological machines to do even our simplest tasks? Previously, people interact face-to-face, engaging in deep conversations and communicate with one another sincerely. Now, most of us are dependent on computers to do this work for us. Yes, it is more convenient, but we will miss out the valuable experience when talking face-to-face.
Gone is the facial expressions and body language, replaced by some emoticons and other objects that can be placed on the screen with just a click. People are now using computers to interact with one another - which is the most basic thing in our daily life. If we cannot even do this little act on our own, what else can we achieve without our I-pads, I-phones, Macbooks, etc. ?
Imagine a day without computers, can we still manage like we used to decades ago? Are we really nothing without our gadgets and devices? Admit it, Facebook and Twitter are part of our life now. This changes the very way that civilisation operates.
I cannot imagine what the future may hold - when we may become entirely on techonology to do our daily "chores".
