The document discusses how communication technologies have changed how humans interact and share information. It notes that technologies like social media, email, and cellphones allow people to connect across great distances (sentence 1). However, increased technology use can negatively impact in-person socializing and privacy, as more personal data is collected by companies (sentence 2). Whether technology will fully replace human relationships is debated, as is how it affects social isolation (sentence 3).

4. Applications used to
“spread, transmit, and
disseminate knowledge,
ideas, and information
farther

networking sites allow users
to exchange personal
information and to form
relationships.

What will we miss out on?

10. On average, Americans spend
2.7 hours
Or 9,720 seconds
per day
Socializing
on their
mobile device.

11. That’s over
Twice
the amount

Together, they have impacted

23. Technologies such as computer
databases, like ones used by the
government and military, store
personal information.
This poses threats to
personal privacy.

30. “These
fleeting thoughts
are
accumulated,
archived and
digitally-
indexed
by corporations.”

31. “…the sheer volume of publicly
accessible personal — often
emotional — expression should give
us pause.”

32. By studying technology and how greatly it affects the
way humans communicate, We can solve
practical communication problems.

33. H o w e v e r ,
the increased efficiency
that comes with
technology can also
cause loss of meaning
because the human
voice and enunciation
are no longer there to
clear any ambiguities.

34. It’s
up to us
to decide
whether
it’s worth
the
sacrifices.
Just how badly do we need to communicate ?
