Widespread use of smart phone and social media has changed in no small measure our way of communication, of shopping and of learning. We used to be vocal about the benefits that new technologies brought: they will lead to unprecedented job growth, support the economy and improve the quality of our lives. But it's hard to ignore the growing public apathy in chatting with our friends in person. Regardless of the enormous amount of photos shared on Face book, modern city dwellers grow detached from their immediate surroundings and fail to realize that codes and digits can never provide the human touch that we yearn for.
参考译文:
智能手机和社交媒体的广泛应用大大改变了沟通、购物和学习的方式。我们曾经对新科技的优点不吝赞美：他们可带来前所未有的就业增长，支持经济并提升我们的生活质量。但我们很难忽视越来越严重的公众冷漠。不愿意与朋友面对面交谈。虽然微信和脸书上分享了海量的照片，但现代的都市居民离周围的现实越来越疏离，没有意识到代码和字节永远无法提供我们内心渴望的人情味。
