to each other.
1 was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and - poof! -1 was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.
The telephone is used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent.
Recently l was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communication technology is a setback(退步) to the closeness of human interaction.
With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, Ijust leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional Distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?
Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you Ctin put your Ctird into the ATM l More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation orbeing relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk.
The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account.
Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there isno one in the room to hear you crying out Gee whiz ?

One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my brother came in. He placed his beef next to my (1) one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to (2); you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out laughing.
Unpleasant (3) on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were (4), and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore (5) until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer (6) in long pants.
But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she (7) everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so (8) and happy in her own skin. I (9) as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our (10) are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, (11) blood to every cell, blinking and walking.
Walking! I was suddenly (12) how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack (13) working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs (14) because I had (15) someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs (16) the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a (17) way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see (18) you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking (19) else.” That’s Ragen’s own (20), but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
