Technology is everywhere these days—especially cellphones.In the past,when we waited in line at the grocery store or at a doctor's office,we would often start a conversation with a nearby stranger.Today,the default choice (默认选项) seems to be putting our heads down into our phones instead of facetoface connection with each other.
Perhaps you have experienced the following plot:You walk into an office that you believe to be empty because it is so deathly mute.You are surprised,instead,to find it filled with people,necks bent downward,busily tapping on their cell phones instead of becoming involved with one another.
This phenomenon became particularly heartbreaking for me recently as I sat in my dentist's waiting room,seated next to a mother and her young daughter.The young girl sat quietly next to her mother who continued to focus her undivided attention on her cell phone.After what must have seemed to be a long time,the daughter said loudly in an annoyed voice,“Mom! I miss you!” With a frightened look of embarrassment,the mom hurriedly put her cell phone into her purse and scooped(抱起) her daughter up.
Technology can certainly make things easier for us and has rightfully earned an essential place in our personal and professional lives.However,for the health of our relationships and the need to create more social and emotional intimacy (亲密度),we must carve out “technologyfree” time.
