According to Ellen Goodman in the article, “Don’t Shear Your Life
with Me,” the cell phone has made the live easier than before by keeping people
and businesses in touch. However, there is an issue using it, which most people
have sheared the person who does the call in public his or her live by hearing
and understanding what is the caller talks about. In fact, the one who calls looks
like living with him or her self. During the call, people who stand or stay
around the caller often feel that they have disappeared.
In general, the
author needs that to shows us how the cell phone has made the people share
their lives with others. Actually, I agree with the author that it might not be
dangerous to talk to someone while doing something around people, but the
listeners will think that they have disappeared, for the caller ignores them
during the call. In addition, it is interesting to know that people in the past
who needed to call had to enter the phone booth, and they were in private place
such as when Superman changed his clothes. However, today, cell phone makes the
caller as a naked during the calling, and I agree with that.
