In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great
36 for the “death of conversation”. It
37 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more
38 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity
39 the price of
40 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are
41 to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually,
42 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to
43 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot
44 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of 45 in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that 46 ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and
47 people.
Turkle mentioned the popular
48 of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude
49 by most young people. They are
50 busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a
51 life.

52 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that
53 is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)
54 to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.
55 throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.
