Data Presentation- "Do you pretend to text in awkward situtations?"
For something that happens in everyday
interaction, I found it painfully difficult finding data for my topic of
choice. Originally, I was going to do pretending to text in awkward situations.
It is so interesting to me how many of us do it, I do it, I’m sure you do it,
and I’m sure your friends do it. I bet someone is doing it right now. Anyway, I
found it difficult to really identify whether someone is texting or if they are
checking their Facebook or replying to emails. I think I have decided to roll
with the idea of using mobile phones (whether it be emailing, texting,
pretending to text, checking Facebook, or playing games) to avoid communicating
with other people. The YouTube video that I found is really the only live
footage I have stumbled across. Although it may be a bit of a stretch, I
believe it will still help me in getting this idea that cell phones have become
social barriers in society. I am going to attempt to look at it from more of a
micro perspective and work my way out to the macro implications.
