Is conversation a lost art?
The next time you eat at a restaurant, take some time to look around you. What do you notice? 1. How many of them are engaged (忙于) in face—to—face conversations? On the other hand, how many of them have their heads down using a smart phone?
Thanks to smart phones and the Internet, we’re able to text, email, or make phone calls all day long. 2. Experts argue, however, that the types of communication made possible by modem technology have come at the expense of real, face—to—face conversations. Even though we’re connecting more than ever, the exchanges aren’t as deep as in—person conversations.
Do we really spend that much time on electronic devices (设备), though? 3. According to a recent study, today’s young Americans (ages 8—18) spend more than seven—and—a—half hours every day on electronic devices, such as smart phones, televisions, computers, and video games.
So what’s the big deal? Many experts have noted that a reliance (依赖) upon electronic communications can have a negative effect on social skills and writing skills. 4. While digital communications teach certain skills and habits, face—to—face conversations teach other skills that are important for our overall well-being.
5. Experts urge people to unplug more often. Set aside time without electronics to share face—to—face conversations with friends and family. Keeping a healthy balance between on—screen and off—screen discussions will make you a better communicator in all areas of your life.
A. Researchers have found the answer is yes.
B. Pay particular attention to the other people around you.
C. How can we be sure we don’t lose the art of conversation?
D. When you’re sad or lonely, a smile may make a huge difference.
E. This can make it harder to keep healthy relationships as an adult.
F. In many ways, we’re communicating more than we ever had in the past.
G There’s an average of 11 hours of media content in those seven—and—a—half hours.
