 Analysis

For Conversation, Press # 1

by Michael Alvear

A funny thing happened in the way to communications revolution: we stopped talking

to one another.

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting
our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and poof! ---I
became invisible, absent from the conversation because of a gadget designed to make
communication easier.

The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing other
people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pet their
puppies. Evidently, the untethered electronic voice is preferable to human contact.

The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to
you feel absent.

Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every
advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction. With
e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or
talking to one another. In making deposit at the bank, you can just insert your card into the
ATM. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If
my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

As almost every conceivable contact between human beings gets automated, the
alienation index goes up.

I am no Luddite. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and an e-mail
account. Giving them up isn’t an option---they’re great for what they’re intended to do. It’s their
unintended consequences that make me cringe.

So, I’ve put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who
live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when
I’m home.
