Question

【題目】 Aren’t mobile phone, e-mail and voice mail supposed to help us communicate more easily?Sadly,that’s not always the case.Take the other day for example ,when I was walking through the park with my friend ,suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it-leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead!In fact ,the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phone .They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to walk their dogs. Clearly, people preferred talking on the phone to face-to face contacting.

Why is it that the more, connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? New communication technology seems to keep people away from each other. With e-mail over the Internet. We can communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With Wechat or QQ, you can have conversations without even meeting that person. Even some food stores are using self- scanners(自助掃描儀) so that you can check yourself out。 As the contact(聯(lián)系) between human beings becomes automated自動(dòng)化的)， my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger. Don’t get me wrong. I'm not against machines. I also own a mobile phone, a QQ, a Wechat and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn't a good idea,as they are useful to have around, It's just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad. More and more, I find myself answering e-mail instead of talking to people. The technology that helps keep us in contact with each other is, in fact making me feel more lonely.

What is to be done? Well, try to use less technology: no e-mailing people who live nearby, and no letting QQ and Wechat catch you all the time.
