Mobile technologies can blur the boundary of private and public spaces

As you can see, when mobile technologies become more improve everyday , mobile technology ’s products not just only for calling others , it more liked a pocket pc,when you take out your smart phone such as iPhone/iPad .etc. You can use them for surfing on the internet or play games , so that ,when city people have free time , they will take out their pocket pc to pass the time , and we call them “Phubbing”people. it will make people just focus them-self only , neglected to get along and difficult to communicate with each others. 



In addition to affecting peoples communicate with others , mobile technologies also blur the boundary of private and public space.Many of young peoples love to use social apps such as Instagram.when they uploaded their daily life’s happened and share it for others on instagram , the others instagram user can checked it out, For example,when i wanna share a photo about having a great dinner with my friends on a nice place, i can upload a photo or video on instagram , and then add a hashtag or GPS location ,the others user can see it very easy by using instagram. This shows us mobile technologies narrowing the space of public and personal sense of distance. Everyone can checked out your daily happened easily when you keep updating your instagram status .



In conclusion , i think that mobile technologies can blur the boundary of private and public and affected peoples information update rate .

  1. Dear Edward, There are two different issues here: blurring of boundary and phubbing. The linkage between the two could be strengthened so that the theme of your writing can stand out. In fact, in what ways does the GPS function can help blur the boundary of public and private spaces? Publication of location may not necessarily mean making a personal space public. You may want to explain more clearly.
