You cannot connect feelings

     The psychologist Sherry Turkle expressed in the TED talk "Connected, but Alone?" that "We turn to technology to help us feel connected in ways we can comfortably control. But we're not so comfortable." Technology has quickly developed in the last few years, and it continues doing. We are so addicted to tech that we do not realize it is consuming us, but it is also isolating us from each other. We believe tech is improving our relationships. We believe tech is connecting us in a more effective way. My question is: Does tech improve our feelings for each other? We cannot touch, look at, smell, and feel one another through cellphones or laptops. We have to reconnect sincerely with each other. Not through a screen, but in person.
