A Synthesis in English 2

Is technology safety today? Another topic many are interested in

1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

today is the view on the safety of technology. As an IT student,

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

technology is our children, we nurture technology for innovation:

24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

innovation for good purpose, purpose for public interest, interest like
33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42

socializing, make everything faster, the most important is make

43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51

peoples live not stagnant. There are many advantages to having the
52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62

latest technology. Having a cellphone can be helpful when needing to

63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73

make a quick call in an emergency. Having access to internet and

74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85

television can keep one informed on current or latest events around

86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96

the world and in one’s community.

97 98 99 100 101 102
Surveillance cameras are used in stores and public areas to watch
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

suspicious behavior; people speak of suspicious events over phone

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

conversations and through. Social settings are very different today

21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

than they were several years ago. There are very few occasions that
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 40 41 42

one can look around a public area and see a person without a cell
43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56

phone in hand. In today’s society, people of all ages have a cell phone.
57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70

Some children in elementary have the latest and greatest phone made
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81

today. In Jonathan Franzen’s essay “I Just Called to Say I Love You”,

82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94

he writes about personal experiences he has had with people in

95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105

public on their phones.

106 107 108 109

Franzen is very passionate when describing his views on people in

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

social settings. He believes it is one of the rudest acts a person can

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
do when they have a personal conversation in public. He explains his
26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37

disdain for people that express emotion on their phone in public,

38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

especially if the person shows affection to another. Franzen is

49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58

extremely passionate about this topic. He believes the technology of

59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68

today can only have a negative effect on people. He explains, “The

69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80

technological development that has done lasting harm of real social

81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90

significance is the cellphone”. There are many different views on this

91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101

topic.
102

Many believe that the use of texting is leading to improper social

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

interaction for today’s generation. Older people may think that

13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
teenagers today do not know how to act properly in social interaction
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

because they only interact from screen to screen and not face to
34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

face. Most teenagers disagree with this statement, saying they are
46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55

completely capable of carrying on a normal conversation with

56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64

someone face to face. However, when teenagers are given the

65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74

opportunity to prove the others wrong and have a normal conversation,

75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85

many times they do not handle it well. Today’s generation could

86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96

definitely use more practice with social interaction.

97 98 99 100 101 102 103

That was just one of the common side-effect of technology to people

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

today. It doesn’t summed up that technology cause bad effect to

13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

society. About the technology today the teenager are the one who
24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34
gives or makes an issue about this. Does expressing emotion on calls
35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46

on public, really disdainable? This is clearly not but some

47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56

conservative people found it as a rude. That scenario is common in

57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68

Everyday doing of most people. Most was just really on used to it.
69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81

Perhaps not surprisingly, my findings tent to support my position.

82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91

It all depends on us of how unconquerable we are with the influence of

92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105

technology.
