DIALOGUE - Laura Celaya

DIALOGUE

Megan and Charlie, on their way to school, are discussing about the advantages and disadvantages of online platforms.

Megan: I believe that the box sets or the scheduled programmes have fall in disuse since, on one hand, it’s a way to skip all the annoying commercial breaks, and on the other hand, we can use online platforms or subscription streaming services where you can watch our favourite movies or TV series such as Netflix or Megadede. And we also use them for sharing images or contacting with our friends and family. It’s one of the most useful things that humans have created it.

Charlie: Well, I don’t quite agree with you. When our parents were little they didn’t have all of this and they didn’t need it because if they had free time they would spend it hanging out with their friends with no need of any kind of gadgets. It seems to me that the most of people couldn’t do that now, don’t you think?

Megan: That may be true, but I also think that because we live in the period of technology and the internet and we are all interconnected and thanks to that we can chat with friends, even if they are living in another country, or, furthermore, we can be informed about the events that are happening around the world.

Charlie: Yes, I agree here but we should learn how to use all of this properly and in a healthy way in order to reduce the addiction to these devices.
