The Choice Between Using My Phone Or Face To Face Communication

Improved Essays
1. If I had to choose between using my phone or having a face-to-face conversation, I would chose face-to-face. I prefer emotions and real laughter. Phones to me are so fake. It’s not a real person behind those written words. You say so much more and can hold out a conversation better when you are face- to-face. It is easier to relate and understand the person. There is nothing more that I hate then missed communication over text messaging. Words can’t express and show action like someone’s tone of voice and facial expressions. Phones are an easy way for people to live and hide behind. I hate in this generation that no one can just be themselves. Everyone is completing to be these perfectly un real people and it makes me sick. I believe the …show more content…
Yes, we will drop anything at any moment to answer that text, call, or comment on app. Would or do we do the same for our friends, family, significant others? Heck no! We say hang on a second I’m answering this text, or oops excuse me for a second while we take a phone call in front of them or while they were in mid conversation with us.

Kids can’t wait fifty minutes to answer a text about the weekend to listen and learn to better their life. Just as the question asked it’s like we expect so much more from our phones when in reality its people and our loved ones that are going to give us more to live for in the …show more content…

Technology also helps make our lives easier. Being able to text someone quick about something important. Keeping notes on our phone or schedules also help so when your re out and about you can keep updated. Alarms on phones help with reminders such as taking medication, meetings, work, or any thing else you may need help remembering. We can take pictures to capture moments at anytime. In case o fan emergency we can use our phones to call or if we are lost we can just the GPS on our phones. In the end technology isn’t all bad it does also help and have good

    A professor from Stanford University, Clifford Nass, stated, "Kids have to learn about emotion, and the way they do that, really, is by paying attention to other people.

    1. I think that I would rather have a conversation with others in phone because it limits the chances of misinterpretations. I mostly text my friends or family because if they’re busy with something, it is just more convenient for them to check their phone and see that I texted them. Another great reason I rather text is because I come from a big family and if there was an emergency, one person’s text can be sent to everyone in my family text group. The only thing that I hate is because I can send anything with emotion in the message, so conflicts would arise.…
