week3 reading: The Phake Fone (group1)

I botugh my first mobile phone when I was 16years old. I became atticted to mobille phoen soon. Lookin at bill, my mother always saied "why don't you talk with your friend face to face in school? why are you talkin on mobile?". My excuse is "because they are not my neighbor". I lived faraway from my high school, and did not have enough time to chat with my friends after school. In other words, face to face comuunication was exsactlly same (mobile) telecommunication for me. I do't know moble phone talking have changd my communication way, or not.But I heard a story before; a mother calls up to her son, and says" I am leaving soon, but your dinner is ready". And the son hang up without saying even"OK". Probably, he does not want to talk with her, but wired. Is it communiaction,? No, I don't think so, it is fake! Then I am wondering what would happen if they don't have mobile phone. Probably, mother would go upstears, and speak to her son as face to face, which is real communication. If they beleive this is perfect communication, communication technology make them forget what is communication.In other words, they are only taking an advantage of technology, and became lazy about face to face talking, which is not always fun.  

The author says telephoen(telecommunication) "policy-object": I understand telephoene is one of communicatin tools, whicih was invented by our requirements. Alao, the author says Policy-object can not chanfe the nature of human communication, but thinking about the case of the mother and son, it seems possible.
