Face-to-face texting
A lot of people think that technology brings people
closer together, but I'm not so sure, People spend so
much time texting and looking at computer screens
that they hardly ever speak Lo ane angtlie. This made
me think and T decided to do a little experiment.
One day my husband and I decided not to speak
to each other at all. We could email, text, ctc. but
we couldn't actually communicate in words. So, at
breakfast he sent me a text to ask ifI wanted any
‘more toast and I replied that I didn’t but I wouldn't
mind another cup of tea.
We hoth thought it was funny at first, but things got
more complicated as the day went on. For exemple,
a friend phoned me about a special party she was
organising. I had to text my husband for about 20
minutes to discuss everything
‘The whole thing made me appreciate that nothing
can replace face-to-face communication - talking to
each other. Communication may be easier becuse
of technology, but people aren't machines. We
sometimes forget that simple things are often the
most important in life
get around, rather than use a car or public transport.
Write an article about your experience. Use the notes,
to help you, and your own ideas.
