The iPhone Generation

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. __36__ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of them?

For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. __37__ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says,“I’m not available for chatting at the moment.”

Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. __38__ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.

__39__ It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do , their “Yes. Mum.” Problem solved.

Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual(虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. __40__ And they are changing our social habits along the way.

In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange, suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
