Yes, I’m agreeing with the statement of Turkle. Technology is the architect of our intimacies, except this means that since we text, twitter, e-mail, as well as expend time on Facebook, just doing this for us is not technology, other than to us, we view ourselves changing the way as well as our relationships. These days we use only the social network, e-mail as well as games. When we gather at dinner we communicate with the family.
