According to Marshall McLuhan “We shape our tools and then our tools shape us”; This is something that Sherry Turkle is more concerned about in her book Together Alone: ​​Why We Expect More from Form Technology and Less from Each Other. She claims that people today are all “cyborgs” and that we cannot live for a moment without technological devices. However, the author of Diagnosing the Digital Revolution: Why It's So Hard to Tell Whether It's Really Changing Us, Alison Gopkin, says we've always been like this. We human beings are addicted to things like books, just as we are to technological devices. I agree with Sherry Turkle on how technological devices rewire our brains. I agree with her because her argument is well presented, she used many relevant examples to get her point across and she also used her personal experience to show the relationship between us, people, and our tools. People today love the experience of being connected. with others through high-tech devices such as cell phones, laptops, tablets and others. We have less and less time to deal with the environment because we are too busy, whether it is texting, face booking, checking our emails and other things that involve being online. When I walked into my drama class first and sat down, I looked over and found all of us on our phones, everyone was busy connecting with people far away them rather than starting a conversation with the person right next to them. The Internet has become like a second life for most of us. Turkle mentions that the Internet in particular offers adolescents a free space to explore identity, what Erik Erikson calls the Moratorium. In computer-generated places like games, "we expect to play an avatar, we end up...in the middle of a sheet......sit down and eat with one hand and the other we scroll through Facebook or text our friends rather than talking to the people around us. Although Gopkin has a completely different view on this, she states that even when our parents talk to us, we really listen to them. “The teenager who comes home from school and texts her friends while she updates her Facebook page is way worse than that. Who went home and watched reruns of Gilligan's Island? (42). We create more false friends than real ones who would come to see us when we are sick or in the event of the loss of a loved one. People never share their real problems on social media, we always share minor problems like a dog dying rather than problems like depression after my divorce. To summarize, I would like to point out that we still have time to prevent our tools from reshaping us .
