DISCONNECT TO CONNECT. Andreu O. (4th ESO)


Disconnect to connect

Disconnecting to connect is a popular theme to discuss about. Each one has its own opinion. Mine is that it depends on when, where and why you are using your device. You can give to your phone a lot of different utilities.

If you use it in your work for accessing emails or to launch a website for a professional search, it should be considered just a working tool. The bad side comes when you use it while you are with your family or friends. It’s not uncommon that while you are with someone, that person is being contacted via whatsapp by someone else and instead of talking and being with you, they are chatting with the other person about what they will do later on. I understand that you want to log on to social networks site and comment and answer comments in your free time, but you shouldn’t do it when you are with someone. If you do so, you may lose the opportunity to talk and have fun with him.

We need to know that there are moments when we need to differentiate the real live from virtual one. You can enjoy both; even partially mix them, but not compromising the quality of the face-to-face relationships.

With the new technologies some new professions appeared, as youtuber or personal photographer for doing “postu”. These works require uploading videos to the internet or transferring photos to your computer.

We are in a digital world and the adoption of the new technologies is unstoppable, but those should complement and not replace the genuine face-to-face human relationships.
