WEEK 3: HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN AFFECT THE WAY OF COMMUNICATION

Communication is an essential part of the human experience. However, as humanity evolves, technology is evolving with it, and impacting the way the communicative aspect of our lives functions. The effects of modern technology on how we communicate with one another are vast and varied, with both negative and positive impacts for our business and personal lives.Technology plays an important role in our lives. We receive entertainment and information in a convenient format from the technology in our lives. One of the most important areas that technological advances play a role in our lives is in communication. Although we often take communication technology for granted, it is nonetheless influential. Whether it's family, friends or a significant other, distance makes life very difficult and complicated. Phone conversations can only do so much and take place so frequently, which is why modern technology is helping communication so much. Technologies such as video conferencing, text messaging and social networking sites like Facebook and My Space can help keep friends and family updated on your life.

Although technology is a way of sharing information. It gives people a better understanding on things and is a lot better than writing down things because it is a hands on activity. Technology is the resource for making life easier. But the technology can affect us, maybe it is good or bad specially to the students. At this current day and age, students have cell phones. The majority of students that have cellphones usually are texting in class, just to talk to their friends about who knows, and who cares. Because they are constantly texting and not paying attention to what the teacher is saying. However, some forms of technology are used to advance the current amount of knowledge one person, or a group of people have. With the ability to communicate with others around the world, students can try to find people that can help them better understand whatever courses they are taking. And they could use the ability of communication to try to find someone who is very fluent in the language, and talk to them to try to understand it much better then they already do.
