    Activity 1. Read Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle (from www.nytines.com)

    1. Identify the main idea.

    - The main idea in this article is that we've lost our conversational abilities and have
    replaced them with text and social media connections.

    2. How does the writer support the main idea? Enumerate the examples provided.

    - The author explains explains how conversation is being sacrificed for


    communication, due to the fact nowadays people are always connected with their
    devices for texting, reading e-mails, messenger and others social media platforms.

    3. According to the writer, what is the difference between “conversation and connection”?
    What does face-to-face conversation teach us? How?

    - Connection means first contact. Conversation means further contact.


    - Face to face conversation teaches us to be patient. Emotions are expressed clearly.But
    the article said that it slowly fades.

    4. What does “being alone together” mean? Cite specific instances.

    - Even though people don't have as many face-to-face conversations as they used to,
    they continue to communicate via social media. That’s why even tho we are alone
    and we have distance. We can just talk through social media and it feels like we are
    together.

    5. Explain the title. What does our “flight from conversation” do to us?

    - With all the changes in technology and the growth of technology the increase of
    connections has led to a loss in face to face conversation. And even how far you are
    in one click of a send button the message will be delivered.

    6. Explain the following lines:


    “We expect more from technology and less from one another”
    “I share; there I am”
    -It says We are seeing a disconnect with basic human relationships as society has become
    more dependent on technology and less on each other.

    7. What does the writer suggest we do so we can make room for conversations?

    - To make room for conversation she urges that we all take some deliberate steps:

    1. Create device free zones.


    2. Demonstrate the value of conversation.
    3. Talk to one another about what really matters.
    4. Really listen to each other, even to the boring parts.

    8. Do you agree with the writer? Explain your answer.

    - Yes. Because I can relate with what she write. That most of us are reliant to the
    technology more than the people. We choose to make a conversation online than
    doing it on face to face and it slowly fading.

    Activity 2. Write about “Technology in the 21st Century.”


    Technical Guidelines:

    1. 500 words

    Use yellow pad or Long Bond Paper (Hand Written or Computerize)

    Technology takes many forms in today’s world. People nowadays in the 21st Century can't picture their
    lives without technology. Various inventions are all around us, assisting people in living more luxurious
    and just one click lives.

    People listen to music, watch movies or play games with a few taps on a screen. Devices continue to
    grow more powerful and faster. And users can achieve anything with smartphones, tablets and laptops.
    For instance, casino fans can play their favourite casino games online. Even phone has its own evolution
    from keypads to smartphones that you can touche the screen and a better quality of video, audio and
    images.

    Over the years, Technology has been constantly evolving to make our lives more easier. what i mean
    easier is, sometimes its just a nonsense. Just like a coffee maker, You can imagine how to easy to make a
    coffee right?, but because evolution of technology they made a coffee maker, where you can just put a
    water and it will boil itself and it’ll turn into a coffee. But you can also make a coffee manually, you can
    just boil a water pour it into your mug pour and creamer, coffee and sugar it’s just that simple but
    others chose buying a coffee maker and for me, it doesn’t make sense.

    Well, i cant lie it makes the making of coffee easier and also i cant lie that there’s some positive changes
    over the centuries, The effect of technology on learning has had a significant impact on society. Learning
    has become more engaging and collaborative, allowing people to better connect with the content they
    are learning and having difficulty with. It also improves your access to resources, With the invention of
    the internet, we now have instant access to information and can access almost anything with a single
    click. Another way technology has impacted society is through communication, how we talk and
    communicate with one another worldwide. Technology brought many new methods of electronic
    communication. Example or Emails, Messenger and other social media sites.

    However, studies show that mobile communication has a negative impact on people's ability to be
    sociable and make face-to-face interaction. Mobile technology has the potential to reduce interpersonal
    contact and relationships. There is less personal time, and you may find that you do not have enough
    time for yourself because you are constantly in touch with others. It can also be a source of distraction
    from your studies. There is also a lack of privacy because everyone, at any moment, will find you
    everywhere. Finally, both of these factors have an effect on how people behave today. Our way of life
    will be simpler without technical advances. Today's human behavior is shaped by technological forces.

    Living without these devices can be difficult for many people. These have changed our style of living and
    made us dependant on them. Ask yourself: how many times do you look at your Android phone? How
    many times in a day do you check Facebook? These questions explain why these innovations are
    important.
