4. In paragraph 4, Turkle uses an oxymoron (contradictory words): alone together. What does Turkle mean by this phrase? As Turkle elaborates on this phrase throughout the paragraph, how does it influence the op-ed as a whole

This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle .

With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase "alone together."

Explanation:

These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.

People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.

This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.

We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.

yes

explanation:

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
