The Impact of Technology and Communication
The ability of digital communication has changed our lives, the way we work and the way we learn. While technology and communication have many positive aspects, they can also have some negative effects on our personal lives and the business world.
The speed of communication is one of the greatest benefits of modern technology. Messages that used to take days to reach people now arrive in their inboxes within seconds.
A second advantage of technology is how it has brought people together. With the help of the internet and smart phones, anyone can connect to someone in any part the world.
There are also some negative effects of modern technology on the human brain and our interpersonal skills. In order to maintain the right balance between technology use and our interpersonal lives, we should remember that no substitute can be made for face-toface interaction.
Modern technology has enabled us to create communities in remote areas. These communities include everything from social networking to protest movements and support networks for marginalized populations.
Communication technology plays an increasingly important role in education. Students can access learning resources, stay informed on important events and topics as well as use technology to keep up to date with current events. This is all great for society, however it’s important that students know how to use communication technologies properly and don’t abuse them in their personal lives or among their peers.
