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

Answer:

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 <em>"alone together."</em>

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.

lesantik [10]

The revisions that would make the diagram of the fire pit more effective are:

1. Including images for each step of the process;

2. Adding a label to indicate the depth of the fire pit;

3. Including labels for all materials mentioned.


Those revisions would make it easier for the person building the fire pit to visualize the work that has to be done and the way it is supposed to be done. Understanding the materials, their appearance and use is an important step to ensure the success of the project. Since the depth is crucial for the fire pit to function properly, being able to visualize the correct depth is also essential for the building. The pictures of each step would help eliminate possible doubts, especially if the images are well depicted and numbered.
