How Has Technology Helped Communication In The 20th Century

Modern communication has stepped up its game with the introduction of Instant Messaging services, internet based application and social media. But even with this increase ease of communication Sherry Turkle and Jenna Wortham provide very different two experiences and outlooks towards the increasing benefits and problems associated with the influence of internet and technology on our communication.

Over the last two decades, digital technology has become an essential part of people’s daily life and has caused an enormous influence on how the communication occurs. According to the research of the International Telecommunication Union(ITU), there were only 500 million mobile users in the 2000,but ten years later in the 2010,this number reached 4.6 billion(2010).Digital technology is a base two process, because the digitized information is recorded in binary code which is the combination of the digits 0 and 1. And it is applied in modern electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops. Some of the reasons why there is a increase in the use of digital technology are generally considered to be the effect of conformity, promotion in

How has communication changed in the last twenty years? The process of human interaction has developed as years follow. New technology has Impacted the old-fashion communication by decreasing verbal messages. For example the process of using feathers to write a message to others. Meanwhile now, people use social media like Facebook.

Communication and technology have been evolving together throughout the years. Where we had the chance to witness the latest technology developments that resulted in the advancement of the communication on a professional and a personal level. But as technology grows and advances step by step so does its impact on the way individuals and society communicates.

Technology is reshaping human communication in a fundamental way. On the surface, the restrictions on total character count imposed on modern means of communication like text messaging and microblogging encourage the condensation of lexical units and simplification of grammar (Lyddy et al., 2014; Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, Gamon and Dumais, 2011). These changes toward quick and increasingly informal linguistic expressions then combine with the unique openness afforded by the internet to lead to complex patterns of sharing and withholding personal information, affecting individual wellbeing, interpersonal relationships and even societal and political landscapes (Bureke and Kraut, 2016; Utz and Beukeboom, 2011; Weeks et al., 2017). Due to the significant and multifaceted impact that computer-mediated communication (CMC) has on our society and daily lives, my intended area of emphasis within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is CMC, which falls under the umbrella of social computing.

The internet has changed the world as we knew it. The world no longer communicates, does business, or perches commodities in the same a traditional way. E-mail, instant massager and chat rooms were the first innovations to be used by the public. As time went on more and more people depended on the internet to communicate with each other. It did not take long for the U.S. Postal service to see the decline in mailed letters. With the internet being so easy to access and email being so easy to use it quickly became the preferred way to communicate with family and friends over long distances. Companies soon followed suit to better serve their clients.

From stone carvings, to smoke signals, to letters, to books, to carrier pigeons, to telegraphs, to telephones, to fax machines. Communication has always been morphing to drastically more efficient ways of reaching out to other humans. Always looking for a more efficient ways to spread information, there are newspapers, magazines, almanacs, radios, televisions, and in the past few decades, the internet. According to History.com, in 1965, the first connection between two computers was made, and many advances occurred until the web we know today was birthed in 1991 by a swiss man named Tim Berners-Lee. This is when the world wide web, that WWW that appears on almost every URL, began to take shape, and where people could access an array of information. The internet seems to be the culmination of all these social media communication inventions. There are online radio stations, online magazines, online newspapers, Television services, telephone services, and many different new forms of information transfer are being implemented. The internet seems to be capable of absorbing all the functions and purposes of the social media that came before it and still has room for more. Online video games and different variations of websites can create and provide people with social groups that give structure and support.

The internet has connected multiple mediums of communication and placed it in one platform; it can now facilitate communication such as calling, messaging, information sharing, music download and etc; essential replacing traditional communication devices. Corresponding to the accusation of corrupting influences of communication technology the use and influence of the internet is one of the most controversial topics.

How has communication changed in the twenty years? Communication has change in many different forms in this past years. People inventing new technology that can provide us different resources of communication with our distance families and friends. One of these devices that help us communicate are the cell phones.

Technology changes at an ever-increasing pace in today's world. One of the technologies that has rapidly changed and has impacted the United States the most, is telecommunication. Telecommunication is the exchange of information between two or more parties through the use of technology. From the invention of the telegraph to the Internet, our country has seen a rapid cultural change from the use of such technologies.

In the text, the author gives a historical overview of the internet. He tells us that the internet was not an overnight phenomenon and not a single person’s efforts. He gives us a timeline of the development of the internet and the degree of changes it went through to give us the internet that we have today.

Communication is a great part of modern history. It has changed a lot since last second world war. Everything today just because of communication. Without communication, we are a just statue of the moment now. But the revolution didn’t happen so fast. It’s the result of resources and dedication of human being. As communication starts with language, therefore, we can say that the changes of communication just start from the language.

In today’s world Internet has become one of the most important mediums of communication. It has become the lifeline of our survival. It has removed the entire social, economic and physical barrier and has immense effect on our day to day activity.

Technology has revolutionized communication and the world like nothing before. The Internet has given the world a freedom never explored in the past. The Internet has broken communication barriers to an extreme level. Now day’s two people from two different countries can talk or chat without interactions. Internet has given people the ability to connect forever through social networking. Some of the biggest world social networking services are Facebook and Twitter. Through technology communication is made much easier, but the communication with the people that are right next to us might be getting weak. Technology has its positive and negative impacts on society. It could keep us informed, but it could also affect anyone’s communication life. Even though it’s an easy communication barrier it’s being over used by society every day. The Internet has charge everyone and everything over the years, it has giving us the ability to be informed on a much deeper level. Families are losing their communication, but not just because of technology. Not everything is positive when it’s about technology. It could help us connect no matter the distance, but we could lose communication and relationships. The world has not yet notice that losing important face to face communication because of technology it’s important.
