Being so heavily dependent on robots can have massive impacts on our societal relationship. According to Turkle, people are becoming too connected with their devices, such as telephones or emails, which limited us to connect with our families and friends. This will lead people on the merge of being isolated (“Connected, but alone?”). Therefore, receiving a conservation with real people is better than holding it with robots. It is more beneficial to pay attention to what we care for, rather than fostering what we enjoy, which human beings naturally are (Turkle 328).
