I actually felt quite sad to hear how some kids cannot1 without their phones these days.2, I think nowadays we are controlled and 3by our technology to keep up. So let's see some of the points that 4 in the debate and see if our generation really is addicted(上瘾的) to electronic connections 5 true communication.
It is true that everything 6 at a fast pace these days. For example, you can contact someone who lives on the other side of the world within 7.

An argument arose about the 10 that it is easier to message someone from your sofa than to meet them 11and talk. Social skills are12 to have and if you are not going to put effort into real-life13, then you are not going to 14 in this ability.
Another point was that phones are very handy for 15 something that you are wondering about. For example, if you don't know a word in another language, you can 16 and simply use an on-line translator to help you out.
