Connected, But Alone?

I found the TED video 'Connected, But Alone?' a very interesting video because it shows us that is a negative side to having phones and other social media linked devices. Also something that I found rather interesting was that how this generation has made all electronics such big parts of their own lives. I feel most people don't understand the basic bounderies a person should have between their life in actuallity and their life in the cyber world of there phones. A question that I still have is that even though the presenter, Sherry Turkle is talking about how people of this generation are too involved in their phones, why did she show a recent picture of her daughter and her friends all together but on their phones blocking out the outside world. Also how can she alone prevent people from not going on their electronics, to certain point of view phones have become such a big part of our lives and her saying anything, will that make a difference?
