DIALOGUE - Clara Xicart

Are Online Platforms Benefitial for US?

[...]

-Hey, could you please pay attention on me? I’m telling you my problems and you are paying more attention to your mobile than to me.

-Sorry, but…

-You are always watching your devices, what is such interesting?

-Well, I’m sorry but I was checking If Netflix has posted the last season of the last TV serie I’ve been watching to.

-And why do you use that subscription streaming service If you have TV in your home?

-It has a lot of advantages; first of all, you can binge watch all series you want to and secondly, If you are not online, you can download films and series before being offline.

-Maybe, but you know that films are not the center of your life, do you?

-I never said that!

-Yes, I mean, now you’ve been checking If Netflix has posted the last season of your TV show, but you are always stuck to your phone and I don’t think it is always for the same reason. You are watching videos, posting all your life, tweeting, chatting with other people…

-Yes, I mean No! All those apps are very useful, but I’m not always with my mobile phone…

-Sure…

-Those apps are very helpful, for example you can find out breaking news faster with tweeter, facebook or instagram for example than newspapers. In addition, If you can’t hang out with your friends and you can’t call them, you can send them whatsapps, that tool is very useful!

-Maybe, but it’s useful for example when you are on bed or alone in your home, not when I’m talking to you because I remember you that we hanged out so, why do you have to chat with everyone having me in front of you?

Well,... no excuse.
