Our Relationship with Technology

It amazes me that people these days actually think that any type of relationship with a robot is accecptable. Shelly Turkle described in her book Alone Together was accused "of harboring sentiments that would put me in the camp of those who have  for so long stood in the way of marriage for homosexual couples. " because she believed these types of relationships are wrong. I also believe that a relationship with a robot is just absurd. A book written by David Levy called Love and Sex with Robots is saying that, "Love with robots will be as normal as love with other humans..." I hope I'm not around when this begins to occur because that is just weird.
People are becoming so attached to their phones that they feel lost if they forget it somewhere. I will admit that I am the same way. I can't  go anywhere without it. We get escited when we here it vibrate. Someone we love is trying to communicate with us which bring us joy I assume. A quote from the book that really stood out to me about Iphones was, "It's like having a little Times Square in my pocketbook. All lights. All the people I could meet." This was said by a sixty year old woman who loves her Iphone becauase it doesn't make her feel so lonely. I agree that having that little phone in your possesion can give you hours upon hours of entertainment. It can make awkward situation less awkward as well. Our phones are taking over our lives everyday. We become closer to them and farhter away from our families and friends.I guess we will soon be having better relationships with this technoloy than human beings.
