Connected independently, we are alone together.

Connected independently, we are alone together.

Technology has given people a massive opportunity to learn and communication has become far easier than the past however I have one awkward feeling for the developing technology; “People are together but not together.”

Text messages are editable unlike speaking that has a possibility of causing problem. Soon the quickness and perfection creates a drug like effect in which makes it hard for people resists using cell phones. Many kids in Japan face similar problems. 携帯依存症（Cell phone dependency syndrome）is a symptom which has spread as the cell phone has become widely known. People with this disease will check its phone intentionally and if their battery goes out, they will panic and will not be able to keep one’s presence of mind.

Destruction on relationship is the constant concern with the phone. It is common these days that kids gather up and play on their phone, even if friends are next to them. Phone has made people very connected however; I feel that we are connected very much independently and alone together.
