Killing One Bird with Three Stones
"Killing One Bird with Three Stones" addresses the invasion of cell phones in our private lives, and how face to face communication is threatened by cell phone interruptions. With our fast-paced lifestyles and rapidly advancing technologies, we sometimes forget to stop and think about how our technology is affecting us. Multiple studies have documented the severity of the distractions cell phones cause. The effects of these distractions have been studied in relation to academic performance and driving, but reviews of these effects on communication itself seem slightly underrated. Face to face communication is an important aspect of human connection, and human connection is an important aspect of living. Not only will this be stressed, but curiosity will be used to recognize the dilemma and discuss how creative solutions can be used to balance interpersonal connection and advanced technology.
