Shuai Yunyun, 21, from Shanghai University of Engineering Science found that her friends were all occupied with their smartphones during a high school friends meeting.Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and writing descriptions, before uploading them to their micro blogs. For a while, silence fell.

“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were really interested in talking,” she said. “It seemed that there’s a big gap between me and those with hand-held devices (设备)” .

Shuai is not the only one feeling segregated from others by mobile technology. According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong 54.29 percent of them would use cellphones while having dinner with their families. It has affected relationships with their parents. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting has made us feel more connected than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.

Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are now used to a new way of being “alone together.”

Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But online connection cannot replace a “real conversation”.

Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The exchange of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting people.

However, experts remind us that it’s unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert points out that, it is still the mobile owners who’re avoiding personal con tact.We ourselves use these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “The way to improve conversation is by understanding each other. Simply throwing away mobilepho nes is not a solution,” she said.
