手机、电邮和语音邮件
难道上述那些不该是帮助我们沟通得更方便的吗？可悲的是，事实并非总是如此。就拿前些天为例，当我和朋友穿过公园，突然他的手机响了，他应了，就不理我，并硬生生地终止我们的谈话！就事实而言，公园满是讲手机的人。他们与其他人擦身而过，连看都不看一眼，或停下来拍拍自己的狗。很显然，人们情愿与在手机上的声音交流多于与人接触。
以下是另一个例子：上周，我与三个朋友在车上。司机要求我们静下来，因为他无法听到他的手机来电在说什么。我们四个朋友开车上路，不能交谈，因为要让其中一人能更轻松地与他人沟通！
为什么我们接触得越多，越觉与人疏离？每一先进通信科技似乎令人与人之间的距离越远。随着在互联网上的电子邮件，我们现在与人交流即可不必见面或交谈。有了语音邮件，你可以与素未谋面的人对话。如果我的妈妈有个问题，我可以在她的语音邮件留下口讯。
当几乎每一种人与人之间的接触都变得自动化，我越来越觉得被隔离。你甚至不能致电他人来获得另一人的电话号码，因为取得一个电话号码，现在几乎都是全自动的。用不了多久，即使去食物店你也可省却与人眼神接触的麻烦；有些店使用的是自扫描仪，让你可以自己埋单。
别误会我的意思，我并不反对机器。我还拥有一台手机、语音邮件系统，和一个电子邮件帐户。放弃它们也不是个好主意，因为它们有用、方便。只是，当它们令我们与人的接触疏离，让我开始感到难过。我发现自己越来越多回复电邮多于与人交谈。该技术本是用来助我们与他人保持联系，但事实上，让我感到更孤单。
那如何是好？好吧！我给自己定下了技术使用限制计划：要是有人在我身边时不发电邮，与朋友共聚时不用手机，当我在家里，不让语音信箱接电话。
我的意思是，所有这些高科技东西好是好，但只限于当没有任何人在房间里听著你说：“你好！”

Cell Phones, E-mail and Voice Mail
Aren't the above supposed to help us communicate with each other more easily? Sadly, that is not always the case. Take the other day for example, when I was walking through the park with my friend, suddenly his cell phone rang and he answered it－ignoring me and cutting our conversation dead! In point of fact, the park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to stroke their dogs. It was clear that the voice on the cell phone was preferable to human contact.
Here is another example: last week, I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the caller on his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the road, but not being allowed to talk to one another because of something that is supposed to make communication easier!
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology seems to keep people from human contact. With e-mail over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can have conversations without ever meeting that person. If my mum has a question, I can just leave a message on her answer phone.
As almost every kind of contact between human beings becomes automated, my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger. You can't even call someone to get the phone number of another person, because getting a phone number now is almost always fully automated. Pretty soon, you won't have to take the trouble of making eye contact at the food store; some stores are using a self-scanner so that you can check yourself out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against machines. I also own a cell phone, a voice mail system, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn't a good idea, as they are useful to have around. It's just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad. More and more, I find myself answering e-mails instead of talking to people. The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is, in fact, making me lonelier.
What is to be done? Well, I’ve made myself a technology restriction plan: no e-mailing people who live near me, no cell-phoning when I’m with friends, and no letting the voice mail pick up when I’m at home.
I mean, what good are all these hi-tech things if there’s no one in the room to hear you say “Hi there!”?
