I am sociable, am I?

Nowadays we are so fascinated with the gadgets that surround us, as if we can't pass a day without holding our cellphones, or browsing our laptops, computers or tablets. Some would say, "I can't live without my phone beside me". Or “I have to check my fb account as soon as possible or I'll die". It sounds exaggerated or over acting but it’s in the reality. We used to do or say pathetic things just because of our electronic and man made gadgets. I dare you, you cannot turn off your cellphone for a day, log out from your fb and twitter accounts because you are so much associated with it but what are these gadgets are really for?

Basically, we use cell phones for us to communicate with our loved ones, friends, and classmates. It’s the easiest way to check their condition, to inform them about something or just simply say hello. Having cell phones with you is a nice and helpful thing especially for those who are far away from their family.

On the same hand, we use computers, laptops, and tablets for different purposes. It may be for us to browse on the internet regarding something which is very relevant for us to know, to play online or installed games, or to chat with our loved ones, friends and classmates. So these gadgets are used for us to be called "sociable", but do you think you are really sociable having these in your hands?

According to the dictionary, sociable means allowing or involving friendly and pleasant social relations. So, being sociable is something about mingling with your loved ones or friends but do you think having these gadgets are we really sociable?

For instance, you were in the sala chatting with your younger brother then suddenly your cellphone rang and of course you're going to get it and see who texted you and what it is all about. Then, the topic sounds interesting unto you, because of this you will leave your little brother hanging with your conversation a while ago. We tend to forget that we are still socializing with our brother.

Another example is that we choose to have our group chats at our fb accounts than seating under the tree chatting with our friends.

Using these technologies are not that really bad anyway. It helps us a lot in so many things. Truly, it makes our communication with our friends and family easier. But on the other hand, let's not forget the fact that it’s more enjoyable to talk and laugh with them beside you. It’s more fun if you will socialize with them without using these gadgets. Because being sociable is a great thing to us human being. It’s a sign that we allow people to know us and to know them as well.
