A critique of the artcle 'Always Connected' by Alison Murphy BpGKj
First of all, I'm against Alison Murphy's main points. In my opinion, switching off our devices is not the best choice. Not only could you miss urgent calls, but you will also plug away at your phone as soon as you turn it on. In Addition, I disagree with Murphy when she argues that because of technological advances, we are working more. From my point of view, the more technology advances, the less work we have to do. Finally, I wouldn't switch my devices off and I suppose technologies make us more productive at work.
On the other hand, I agree with the rest of Murphy's points. She is right when she points out that a majority of people use their devices right before sleeping. I always use a device before going to bed. Moreover, she makes a good point about technology's interfering with our leisure time. As Murphy explained, we are endlessly on call during our leisure time since technology invites our work into our private lives. For instance, my father is always answering calls at malls instead of talking to people who are in front of him. That is why she's right when she states, "technology appears to be reducing the face-to-face human interaction. " Besides, she is absolutely right about the shallowness of online posts and messages. Due to technological limits, online interactions are nowhere near as satisfying as in-person interactions. Finally, I think we ought to meet each other in person instead of calling or texting each other.
