CHAPTER 2 ACTIVITY 1
Access The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle dated April 21, 2012 from New York
Times (link: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/opinions/sunday/the-flight-from-
conversation.html)
Based from the above-mentioned essay, write a reflection paper in 250-300 words by tailoring
your essay to the guided questions:
1. Why would you prefer the traditional way of communicating through physical face to
face with someone or do you think that using social media is the best way to relay
messages?
- I would prefer the traditional way of communicating through physical face to face
with someone rather than using social media to relay messages. Why? I can explain it
with 10 direct explanations. First is that we can talk more, communicate more and
save more time. Second is that it can be physically exhausting to type messages on

m
our cell. Third is that we may not be able to analyze whether the person we are

er as
talking to states a fact or a bluff, a truth or a lie when using phones. Fourth is that we

co
eH w
can easily classify the emotion of the person we are talking to when face to face. Fifth
is that message can be easily understood when the person we are talking to is just in

ou urc
better exchange of information. Eighth is that it can promote relationship building and
promotion of trust. Ninth is that it is constructive. And tenth, it is more formal.

2. Translate communication in sips from your own experience as portrayed in the essay?

- Basing from my own experience, communication in sips is not effective when it


comes to establishing a harmonious connection or comprehensive relationship with
someone. One time, when my best friend’s parents both passed away, I approached
her through chat and asked if she is okay, she replied “yes”, but according to my
ed d

insight, it’s the other way around. When communicating through social media, you
ar stu

can feel that it’s too bare and there’s no emotions applied to the message. For me, a
word or message is far better if it is uttered personally by the person. By that way you
can really look into the person’s eye which is important in communication and be able
is

to express one’s feelings.

3. Why do you think social media and the internet revolutionize your life?
- The internet and social media really revolutionized my life, in positive and negative
ways. On the positive side, social networks provide freedom to do what I want, to
sh

upload what I want and to talk or communicate to whom I want but still with the
knowledge and responsibility of being a netizen. Through the internet, I developed
my self-esteem and be able to encourage people especially women to empower
themselves. On the other side of the page, too much using internet consumes my time

hands to manipulate it and choose what side to embrace.
