12．Wang Yun，21，from Beijing Un iversity，found that her friends were all occupied with their smart phones during a high school friends meeting．Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and sending them to their micro blogs．For a while，silence fell．"I thought we had a lot of topics to s hare，but few people were interested in talking，"she said．"It seemed that there's a huge gap between me and my friends．"
The New York Times published an article recently，feeling sorry for the"death of conversation"．It suggests that while new technologies such as cell phones and e-mails make us feel more connected than ever，they're actually driving us away from people around us．
Sherry Turkle，author of the article，says people are accustomed to a new way of being"alone together"．Actually，sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts．But bits and pieces of online connection cannot take the place of a real conversation．
Wang Yun says she hopes to hear people's voice and see their faces in a conversation．"The give and take in a conversation makes our minds sharp，"she says．She also mentions that burying oneself in cell phones decreases people's chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting new friends．
However，experts remind us that it's unfair to just blame cell phone technology．Jerry Chen，a professor from Hong Kong University，points out that texting or calling may be just an excuse for many people to escape contact with other s．"The best way to enhance conversation is to understand each other．Simply throwing away the cell phone is not a solution，"he says．
