Sherry Turkle Interview

I loved the video that the interview began with. It would be a great challenge to find a group of people in public in which one of them was not on their phone for some reason. The story from her class in which the students told her that they were basically addicted to their phones was pretty interesting. I know people that I would say are addicted to their phones, but I would only mean that in a joking fashion, not that they literally craved the thought of who might be reaching out to them. The varying magazine covers really hit how the times have changed. Families would spend their time together at gatherings and now even though they are still together at these gatherings, they are truly spending it with the people in their phones rather than those surrounding them. The Facebook advertisement really stuck out to me also. The girl was getting excited about seeing what her friends were doing on her Facebook feed. I personally don't go through my feed very often. Honestly, I don't really care who's going shopping or who just caught up on all of the Walking Dead episodes. It would be nice to have an old-fashioned conversation with somebody every now and then.
