Change in Conversation
By: Enoch Chan
Image by StockMonkey (Flickr)
Our methods of communications are changing right
before our eyes; our need of staying connected with
each other has been an ever increasing value in our
lives
Image by LuluLemon Atheltica (Flickr)
Social networks have given us the ability to stay
connected with a mass audience
Image by StockMonkey (Flickr)
Facebook will reach the 1 billion user mark by
the end of 2013
7 out of 10 facebook users check Facebook daily
Image by Topgold (Flickr)
There is no doubt that social
networks have become a bigger
part of our lives than ever before...
Image by Walton LaVonda (Google Images)
...but how has
that affected
the way we
traditionally
interact with
people?
Image by Jevuska (Flickr)
"We’ve become accustomed to a new way of being
'alone together'...We have gotten used to the idea of
being in a tribe of one, loyal to our own party."
- Sherry Turkle
Image by Merete (Flickr)
Image by Filip Dominec (Google Images)
Technology and social networks
have been used in place of
physical interaction
Image by h3h (Flickr)
We live in a generation where Skype, texting and
emailing is not only seen as an equivalent, but as an
increased convenience for face to face interaction
Image by Zorba the Geek (Google Images)
Social networks have allowed people to express their
opinions while hiding behind a masked online identity
Image by Larry Page (Flickr)
It, however, does not mimic the real, physical
conversations that allow people to develop social skills
Image by Katie Tegtmeyer (Flickr)
“We are tempted to think
that our little “sips” of online
connection add up to a big
gulp of real conversation”
- Sherry Turkle
Image by Nupgong6 (Google Images)
Technology hinders our ability to form
authentic relationships between people
Image by Familymwr (Flickr)
Because they are forming relationships with
the masked, online identity of other people, not
their real identities
Image by Rasevic (Google Images)
“One of the differences between our self-image in real
life and online is more ability to change our look, and
also mask our identity” – Christine Erickson
Image by MIKI Yoshihito (Flickr)
We are losing the point of
communicating with each other
Image by US Navy (Flickr)
It is not only so that we fill that lonely void
Image by Ragesoss (Google Images)
But that through communication, we are able to form,
develop and nurture relationships with one another
Image by ProperPilot(Google Images
“If we don’t teach our children to be alone, they will
know only how to be lonely.” – Sherry Turkle
Image by Incisler (Google Images)
We need to realize that technology and social networks
are not a replacement of real conversation, but a
supplement of it.
