Computer Mediated Communication

Hello everyone.
Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) has believed to bring huge impact in our daily life. According to Simon (2017), smartphones are everywhere now and we bring smartphones together wherever we go. Smartphones can keep us continually connected. They can offer an alternative face-to-face conversations, especially with those that are far apart from us. However, smartphones do have its negative side. They avoid people to have direct conversations. From what we can see nowadays, CMC has definitely make people who are closer, apart while those who are apart, closer. It is a very normal phenomena where people sitting together but they rather choose to focus on their gadget. Or there are times where we can’t really get into the conversation and we just want to immerse ourselves into the technology.
This situation not just applied among the youngsters, but even the older generations. Sometimes, we can see that, the parents are holding and pay much attention on the phones rather than the children. As for me, my parents don’t allow us to play phone when we have our dinner together. This is because, she appreciates a lot on the time where we can spend with each other. 
It would be great if you guys would share your opinions here. Thank you and have a good day :)
