Communication has evolved significantly over time due to advances in technology. In the past, communication was limited to methods like mail, landline phones, and in-person interactions. Today, digital communication through text, email, social media, and video chat has exploded with the widespread use of cell phones and the internet. While technology has increased the speed and scope of communication, it has also led to a decline in communication skills and more abbreviated writing styles. Some argue that overreliance on technology for communication has reduced real social interaction between people.
