The call: The author states “Sometimes she’ll start Tindering and will get so distracted she’ll miss her stop. She finds the sometimes falls into a soothing swiping rhythm where she’s not really looking at the men,  just calming herself with a repetitive pattern of left-right swipes. Getting a match seems to activate some primal-gratification center in her mind.” (Witt 273-274)

The response: The world around me relates to this because we are all so distracted with technology that we will forget where we’re going or doing or where we are. Technology can cause so many problems. If everyone around the world would sometimes put the phone down and pay attention, there would be way less problems in the world than before. The shows I watch on television also relates to the text because the people uses their phones a lot. Technology has became a way we live by where we all have this need for it.

The university relates to the text because everyone is walking to class while on their phones or being distracted by their phone in class. That shows how we sometimes forget and get so distracted by our phones where we don’t even realize it. Also, the university relates to the text because through email which is on our phones is a way the university and our instructors contact us or informs us on something very important or just something we need to know. The world is related to this text in many ways. Another way the world is related is that we are so attached to it that we just pick it up and everything while doing literally anything like driving, eating, reading, and more. When we are operating on our phones while driving, it causes many huge problems. We get so badly distracted with our phones and really it is a really huge problem in the world.

The question: What are some ways we can stop getting so easily distracted with our phones?
