A man in the elevator said that he would go to the four-story house. But after arriving in the elevator, he became so focused on his mobile that he forgot to press the four buttons. Not long after, his consciousness returned. By then the elevator reached the sixth floor. Once in a hurry, once again the door was frustrated to see the lift buttons, and he turned his attention to the mobile phone. Do we call him addicted to technology? Again, he can use mobile phone to send the necessary e-mails.
Facebook's founding president Shane Parker said in a conference in November that social media was created to isolate people, not to tie one thread. According to him, the matter is how the user can waste more time, how they can get their attention, that was the purpose. Shane Parker resigned in the following year of Facebook's establishment. Maybe there was a disturbance that made such ludicrous comments. But there is no mistake in his words anywhere. Facebook wants our attention Their business model is such. How does the job?
