However, the aspect of our lives that has been most impacted is likely the way we communicate with one another. These changes have been for both better and worse, but have unequivocally impacted the way we interact with the people in our lives.②Technologies used for communication have changed the dynamics of human interaction. Communications technology such as the Internet, mobile phones and VoIP applications to make phone calls through the computer, have all ushered in a telecommunications revolution. While the modes of human communication have expanded, the use of such technology has also had negative effects on the nature of the communication itself.③Communication technology refers to electronic communication, like cell phones, social networking websites, and email. The effect of communication technology on the communication process is plentiful. Some of these effects are positive, while others are negative.④Advances in technology have significantly impacted the way we communicate in both our personal and professional lives. While email, Instant Messaging (IM), texting and other forms of quick electronic communication may have diminished face-to-face interaction, they've also made communication faster and more efficient. The speed of email compared to letter mail and posting content online compared to print publishing are just some of the effects that technology has had on the way we communicate.Pros:AccessibilityTechnology has changed how when contact each other, when, and where. With cell phone service being much more consistent than it was in the 1990s, and a growing market of smartphones with mobile internet and email access,messages can literally be transmitted anywhere at any time. This is uniquely helpful in a professional sense, because it allows you to stay in touch with colleagues when on a business trip or out of the country. People can easily keep in touch with friends and relatives by text and email. This is particularly important when a family member or friend is living or traveling abroad. Even some of the more remote parts of the world have Internet cafes and mobile phone signals.EfficiencyTechnology has greatly impacted the efficiency of our communicative acts. Instead of having to have a long conversation with a client about his kids and home life before asking a quick question about an order, a brief and to-the-point email can be sent to accomplish the same task. Early forms of long-distance communication included runners who ran messages back and forth between people and homing pigeons trained to fly written messages. The advancement of communication technology has helped to make long-distance communication fast and seemingly effortless.Family ConnectionsTechnology has made it easier for families to stay in contact with each other. Instead of having to rely on physical photographs being sent every couple of months, new parents can now send photo text messages (MSM) to proud grandparents every day. Video telephone calls made with platforms like Skype can let parents on overseas business trips talk to and see their kids. Members of the military can keep up to date with their family affairs and receive encouragement via email while deployed. Interpersonal CommunicationDigital technology has changed the way interpersonal communication operates. It is easier than ever to maintain relationships and close contact. Cellphones, email, instant messaging and video conferencing allow people to talk to each other at any time. Social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace allow people to keep friends and families in the loop by posting status updates. Educational CommunicationDigital technology has greatly impacted the way communication takes place in the world of education. Assignments, lecture notes, quizzes, and sometimes even complete courses, can be delivered online in secondary and post-secondary education. This had made education and the messages conveyed therein accessible in more places, more frequently. Moreover, accessibility to professors has been expanded with the use of email, allowing students to communicate with professors more often about different concerns without going to campus or waiting for school the next day.Cost-savingsThanks to the advances in technology that have brought us calling cards and websites like Skype, which allow users to call one another for free, telecommunications have become more affordable. Advanced technology has also given us handheld devices that combine services such as phone, fax, email and Internet can also eliminate the need to purchase devices and pay bills for each separate mode of commun。
