    I feel a little identified.
    He is right, but in my view not entirely, he is a bit exaggerated in some ways.
    Pros: the easy communication. Save the time. Easy access to information. Cons: Reduced sociability face to face. Less work for people. Less time to think about important things.

  3. Very interesting video!
    I felt a bit identify. I think we don´t have to be extremely excessive to arrive to the point of turning off the telephone. We can be with the telephone in our pockets becouse it could happend something to us in the street and with just a call we are adversting to someone what is happening.
    What we don´t have to lose is the respect to all the peolple who are in front of us and we are with the telephone just playing or doing less importants things.

    I think that is right.
    Pros: easy communication with people living away, easy access to information, ease of finding employment.
    Cons: lost communication personally

      personal communication is lost

  5. 1- No, I don't feel identified...
    2- I think that he is right because really we are in a society that 'friends' of Twitter or Facebook, people think that are really friends. It is a very big problem!
    3- Pros: We are informed all the time, we are in contact every day with family.
    Cons: We lose a lot of time that could be enjoyed with our true family and friends.

    2- We are really.....people think these friends are real friends. We are in contact / in touch with our family...We waste a lot of time....

  7. 1- I certainly do not feel identified.

    2- He is not right because we must use those devices to be in touch with our friends or relatives. Nowadays we do not have time for them because we have to work everyday.

    3- Pros: You can get plenty of information of any topic and you can download music or movies really fast.

    Cons: Most of the technology devices are expensive.

  9. 1. Luckily, I do not feel identified.
    2. He is not right neither wrong. I mean, in some ways, technology do make distance among people. For example, at meetings when you are suppose to share experiences, some people prefer to stare at their cellphones. However, when you are alone, far for your family or closest friends, technology is a great source to keep in touch.
    3. Pros of technology: you can keep in touch with friends or family who are faraway, you can keep informed every minute, you can work from home and save time.
    Cons of technology: devices are usually expensive, if technology is overuse it consumes you a lot of time, technology trash contaminates a lot.

  11. 1- If I were asked this question two years ago, I would answer "yes, I feel identified". Luckily, nowadays I don't feel identified.

    2- I think he is right in many ways, Facebook and Twitter had changed friendship relationships. We don't see and call each other as we used to do. What is more, I think social networks are a very waste of time if you use them many hours per day. Despite this, I think he is taking this topic to an extreme. Everyone is in conditions to find a balance between real and social life.

    3- Pros: It is easier and faster to communicate. You can communicate yourself with people all over the world. You can receive information in every minute.

    Cons: you waste time that you could use to be with your family, work, study, exercise or do what you like.

  12. 1) I don't feel identified.
    2) I think that he is right in many ways. Social networks have changed our relationships. Nowadays we don't called and visited our friends as we used to do when Facebook didn't exist. I also think he is right in the fact that children are more in contact with technology than our generations used to be. At the same time, I think he is taking this topic to an extreme. Everyone is in conditions to find the balance between virtual and real life.
    3) Pros: we can keep contact with people from all over the world. It's quickly, you can receive information in every minute.
    Cons: if you spend so much time with social networks you will lose time that you could use to work, study, exercise yourself, meet friends, etc.

  13. 1. I feel a little bit identified.
    2. I agree from the general point of view , but I think we should not be extremists. Sometimes it is important to be connected to any emergency that may appear. I think we should find a intermediate point between the two poles, not hyperconnected, not disconnected. The important meaning is to look face to face and listen to others.
    3. Pros: The instant information. The contact with loved ones. The facilities have a computer on a hand.
    Cons: Lost social communication.

    1- Do you feel identified?
    In some things i feel identified and in others not really.
    2- Is he right or wrong?
    I think he is totally right. Technology is turning us into the kind of people that behave with a lack of social interaction. This leads to decrease our face to face moments, avoiding special moment of our life

    3- Could you mention some pros and cons of technology as we use it nowadays?
    *pros:
    we have access to information at any time it is needed.
    Students can find almost every academic material just by using online resources.
    *cons:
    Technology can be a distraction.
    It causes a disconnection of social interaction.
    People should need some guidance on identifying proper sources and unreliable sources of information.

  17. 1) Yes, I do feel identified with the things this man says in the video. I admit I am somehow addicted to technology and if I go by a day without my mobile phone I feel naked and isolated.
    2) Though I feel identified, I don´t think he’s right, this issue is as bad as he’s stating. We are part of a society that is constantly changing and evolving, and those changes include technology. The limit is not getting obsessed with it and leaving nice experiences behind. I find the example he is giving in this video almost impossible to happen nowadays. I can´t imagine, as a woman, asking for directions to a man and going there with him. Sometimes we turn to technology because it’s hard to trust a stranger in the street. Plus, you can also meet someone special on social media, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
    Also, since I’m not able to be with my friends through the week due to my everyday routine, I like sharing memorable moments of my day with them through, for example, Whatsapp. It’s a way of being close with them despite my obligations.
    Social media is a way of social interaction as valid as personal contact. If you can´t be with that person right now, but you feel the need to talk with him/she, what´s wrong with calling or texting them?
    3) Pros: Being in touch with our loved ones even when we don’t have the time. Being able to search for information about anything, anytime.
    Cons: Losing touch with the people we are next to. Sometimes we feel like what we say to another person doesn´t hurt because it’s through a screen.

  22. 1) Yes, technology somehow isolate us. It shouldn´t be that way because nowadays it´s really usefull and we all use internet, or have a cellphone.

    2) He is right when he says that we are with friends but at the same time we are not, we are just connected through a group message, that we are isolated, we are no longer looking into someones eye because we are looking at the screen.

    3) Pros: Is easier to comunicate, to search for things
    Cons: It isolate us, prevent us from seeing our love ones face to face
