English Shuai Yunyun, 21, from Shanghai University of Engineering Science found that her friends were all occupied with their smartphones during a high school friends meeting.Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and writing captions, before uploading them to their micro blogs. For a while, silence fell.“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were fully engaged in talking,” said the sophomore. “It seemed that there’s an unbridgeable gap between me and those with hand-held devices.”Shuai, an aviation management major, is not the only one feeling segregated from others by mobile technology. Chinese 根据香港民主建港协进联盟最近的一项调查显示，在数百名受访的香港青少年中，有54.29%的人表示与家人用餐时会使用手机。这已影响到他们与父母之间的关系。《纽约时报》近日发表的一篇文章表达了对“沟通对话被扼杀”的惋惜之情(lament哀叹)。该篇文章中提到，手机、e-mail和网络帖子等科技在为人们沟通提供了前所未有的便利的同时，也使得我们疏远了身边的人。使用者们以牺牲面对面交流为代价，来取得终极的联络体验。这篇刊登在《纽约时报》上的文章的作者雪莉?特克称，人们已习惯了这种“一起孤独”的新感受。 English Zhong Shunfeng, 20, a junior automation major at Southwest University, admits that he sometimes feels cut off from people by being obsessed with texting or updating blogs. He may ignore those nearest and has little interaction with them. “I then realize that it’s impolite and shows little respect,” he said. “Anyone texting in front of me while I’m talking would also embarrass me a lot.”Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But bits and pieces of online connection cannot substitute for a “real conversation”.Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The giving and taking of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology lessens our chance of striking up conversations with strangers and meeting people. Chinese 22岁的钟顺峰（音译）就读于西南大学自动化专业大
