Recommended: Technology causes social isolation

The Tech Age Boom, the whole world is zombies'! Oh wait there just on their phones. "Wait are they socializing, no." All I see are people on their phone with ear buds. Wait if people are not socializing then where does that leave me! I broke my phone, dun. Sorry, just had to add that dramatic background. Well, where does that leave people. Many people have suffered from depression because of using their phone too much. Also there was a new study and if you use your phone too much you die more quickly. Well, that is just the thing, people don't make new friends. That makes people more alone, and I am going to approve it! (I do not have any rights to this song). Boom clap sign of heart, oh sorry just listening to my new song. I love this song. Wait, nope not going to be lonely in the future. You see that is the thing, more people on their phone. As of a recent study scientists have said phones make you more lonely. Well, they did not exactly say that exactly. They said more people are die quick because they don't have friends. What I predict is that the more that people are on their phone, more addicted they are. This is my hypothesis people are more alone. They are focused on their followers or something. …show more content…

Well, there are many things to factor in that makes people more alone. Another thing that makes people more alone is your not interacting with real people. Real people make people out going. The thing is if your just on your phone you get less experience with talking. Therefore, you won't be able to talk to guys or girls that you like. It makes you more alone. If you can't talk to anyone you can die alone. As it is stated on the website Pennsylvania State University our phone is running our skills of socializing. They did a test and texting is bigger than socializing. You can see less and less people are communicating, that will let it so people will be more alone. Booms crack the

    ...helle Hackman, a sophomore in high school, realized that her friends, rather than engaging in a conversation, were “more inclined to text each other” (Huffington Post). Michelle also became aware that over forty percent of people were suffering from anxiety when they were separated from the phones. This clearly shows that we are connected to the technology that we use, but we are also suffering from the use of technology. We spend more than half of our entire day using some sort of technology, whether that is a computer, phone, television, or radio. Technology is becoming a prevalent part of our lives, and we cannot live without it. Technology has become our family, and part of us.

  • The End Of Solitude Analysis

    1262 Words  | 3 Pages

    Because we are connected with so many people, we don’t realize that something is missing in our lives and that is solitude. In my experience, even if we get few minutes to be alone, we spend that looking at our phones and laptops. For example, in school if we are waiting outside of class for teacher to come, everyone is looking at their phones, never talking to each other or sharing knowledgeable things with each other. Not only that even if we have breaks in between the class, students just take out their phone and start staring at it till the break ends. While hanging out with friends, we spend most of time on our phones. I remember, once I lost my phone and I was feeling completely discombobulated. I felt lost and wondered what was going on in world and was feeling left out. Not only solitude but also technology has resulted in loss of face-to-face conversations. Most people think that technology has enhanced our social skills but it is not true, it has actually abated our social skills. We can say that it has led to awkwardness when we talk to each other face to face, so we just prefer talking through texts or

    We immediately resolve to our phones or tablets as a remedy to loneliness. However this doesn’t solve the problem, rather, it makes it worse. The lonelier we are, the more technology we surround ourselves with, resulting in a difficulty to physically communicate with others; it is a paradox. Consequently, the gadget in our hands acts as barrier, neglecting human relationships. “ At home, families sit together, texting and reading e-mails.” This clearly describes the negative role in which technology diminishes the exchange of experiences, and interactions, for example talking about your day, or to just spend time as a family. In my opinion if one is texting at the dinner table, it immediately displays a lack of interest and reluctance to

  • What Are Bradbury's Predictions In Fahrenheit 451

    770 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bradbury talks about the loneliness that people who are dependant on technology, feel. After the city was bombed, and the citizens lost all of their electronics, they would have without a doubt, felt lonely. ”We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year”(Bradburry 76). While online people like actresses, and musicians, seem like friends now, they actually take time away from socializing with loved ones and meeting new people. Some people, like Mildred, feel very connected to their online families, however, when they have to face the real world they can’t. Nowadays, “People don't talk about anything" (Bradbury 14) Not actually being able to socialize is a problem that modern society is currently facing. As a result of texting and posting, people are not sure how to interact with actual human beings. If you are not able to speak to anyone, you can not thrive in the real world, and this will sadly, lead to

  • The Pros And Cons Of Loneliness

    1137 Words  | 3 Pages

    Various studies such as one survey which concluded that the mean size of networks of personal confidants decreased from 2.94 people in 1985 to 2.08 in 2004. Similarly, in 1985, only 10 percent of Americans said they had no one with whom to discuss important matters, and 15 percent said they had only one such good friend. By 2004, 25 percent had nobody to talk to, and 20 percent had only one confidant (Bercovici). In addition, a 2010 AARP survey found that 35 percent of adults older than 45 were chronically lonely, as opposed to 20 percent of a similar group only a decade earlier (Marche). By analyzing all of this compiled data it is evident that the sense of loneliness is on the rise especially after the launch of Facebook in 2004. Thus this has led critics to correlate the increased use and number of Facebook users with the noted increase in loneliness. This in turn has led critics to hypothesize and condemn the social network as the not so social network and therefore believing that Facebook causes loneliness. But is this all

  • Essay On Loneliness And Loneliness

    1109 Words  | 3 Pages

    The majority of society has SNS’s, and some of these users are considerably lonely. But just because the statistics of loneliness and social networks are increasing at the same time does not mean the two are related. Loneliness is expected to become a growing trend in the next decade is because of the growing number of older individuals, not the advance in Social Networking Sites (Aarts, Peek, and Wouters 942). This rise of elders in society is a result of the Baby Boom era. During this period of time, an abnormally large amount of babies were born, and now these people are getting older. This means that there is a much larger population of elderly people than usual, and these older individuals are more likely to become depressed and lonely. Many losses come with old age, such as loss of a working atmosphere, physical mobility, or loss of a spouse/child (Aarts, peek, and Wouters 942). Each of these things can be responsible for feelings of loneliness and a reason behind growing loneliness. Also, quality of life is a major factory in whether or not loneliness becomes an issue in one’s life. Certainly a person who deems themselves to be successful, with a healthy marriage, children, and a stable job will not be as lonely as someone who does not. Social Networking sites do not cause people to become lonely when the factors outside of SNS’s have all the power to do

    How much can technology impact your social life? Who would of thought that technology would affect life in such a major way? Little did people know that technology can impact the way humans interact with each other. While listening to music and playing games on their mobile devices, how many people actually get to know one another while standing right next to each other? A small ride on a metro or bus ride will show you just how little interaction goes on in a humans life do to the amount of use on their mobile devices. The role technology plays in socializing has a great impact on people’s interaction. People can be standing right next to each other with out saying one word to one another.
