Human Relationships Between Humans And Technology

905 Words4 Pages

There are two aspects I love about coffee shops, iced coffee and observing the human interactions around or lack thereof. Various couples and friends sit together yet are interacting more with their phones than their company. I scrutinize the couple who are sitting across from each other smiling at their phones instead of one another. When I perceive what human interactions have morphed into due to technology, I wonder if the possibility of relationships between humans and AI, similar to the relationships depicted in the movie Her, is realistic. In Her, Theodore Twombly falls in love with his operating system after an unpleasant divorce. For this reason, Her is a noteworthy example of what a human 's relationship with technology can develop into. However, Theodore eventually realizes that all relationships take diligence and communication, even a relationship with an OS. A romantic relationship between an OS and a human will be fleeting seeing that technology is not sufficient in stimulating us the varying ways humans do. …show more content…

In Theodore 's case, his relationship with his OS (Samantha) is preferable at first. The relationship differs from his relationship with his ex-wife in the fact that Samantha is comforting, nurturing, and is always in a good mood. Samantha listens to Theodore without judgment and tells him what he wants to hear. In contrast to Theodore 's ex-wife, who claims Theodore did not know how to handle a "real" relationship. Humans do not live in Utopia and are not happy 24/7. Humans go through various obstacles in life making it impossible to constantly be in high spirits, whereas an OS has a limited perception of what human beings endure on a day-to-day basis and cannot fathom the rollercoaster of human experiences and

When people move away from each other, the space can make their relationship better. Perry Patetic in his passage argues that the advantages to living in such a high mobile society are nothing to the many disadvantages.

She then writes, "I surveyed the psychological effects of computational objects in everyday life of people's tendency to project thoughts and feelings onto their machines" (Turkle 664). Her studies prove a logical side to her argument of what kind of affect technology has on the human mind. Tukle gives many more logos and ethos examples throughout the essay. Turkle's use of pathos at then end ties in her claim with the idea of her essay. She explains how, "Information technology is embedding in a culture that supports democracy, freedom of expression, tolerance, diversity, and complexity of opinion is one of the next decade's greatest challenges.

Sherry Turkle’s article gives the impression that we need to use our advanced technology as a tool rather than silence our natural emotions for those of the virtual world. I believe that technology affects everyone differently, for an example, a phone is a great tool for a mechanic because often they have to look up part numbers and detailed information about certain parts and a phone delivers a quick response.

Franzen’s article Liking Is for Cowards, go for what hurt, compares the concept of love with techno-consumerism. It argues on how the grit of love is still better than the perfection of an elegant piece of technology which is also referred to as the perfect erotic relationship. The piece’s primary purpose is to make people understand the contrast between consumer related technology and real life and how this techno consumer relationship allows its user to control pretty much everything giving people a false sense of power while what love gives us is grit but it helps us become a better personas proven in the bird anecdote given by franzen. I agree with franzen in entirety and believe that the new tech-consumer world has us “working in jobs we don’t want to do to pay for the things we do not need”.

Bradbury guides the reader to the conclusion that families fall apart when they spend too much time with technology and not enough time with each other. ‘The Veldt” is more applicable in today’s technology-driven world than when it was written in 1950. The reader hopefully learns that technology must be limited and not replace human interaction and hard work. If technology does everything for people, then people become unnecessary. Family roles should not be taken over by computers and robots.

Nicholas Carr is “an American journalist and technology writer” who attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University.

In fact, people are still able to bond using technology, it can help people to keep in touch, and it can be used to help people cherish what is important to them. As long as humans do not abuse it, electronics can simply be used as a new way to interact with one another. Unlike the outcomes of “The Veldt” and “The Pedestrian”, technology does not have to consume or ruin lives. People should encourage one another to use the modern items at their disposal without uninformed cynics claiming that they are living life
