As I observe that concentration is necessary in lives. If we don’t concerned with our things, there will be a big loss for us. Technology is taking away concentration because everyone is stick to social media and they forgot their goals. I ruin my three years in college because I couldn’t concentrate on my studies.

    Sherry Turkle has quite an interesting view on today`s “wired” world and the concept of being alone together. Therefore, the author is clearly convinced that the world of technology has deprived us of some of the most basic social skills. Although technology can literally grant us unlimited access to the information of the world in which we live today, I too consider that technology does represent a danger on the way we use to socialize before and now. As a result, Turkle does a marvelous job of introducing her beliefs as well as what it could be consider strong evidence to convince her readers making her argument a reasoning sound. It is quite clear that the author showcases Ethos by displaying clear evidence on both areas; logos and ethos.

These detrimental effects are displayed through the users of technology, including both individuals and societies as a whole. Over time, society can become so negatively impacted by their use of technology that faith in humanity is lost. This restriction of faith in humanity comes in many forms.
