'Communication technology keeps getting in the way of communication'.

Helen Wilkie.

• Everything has it’s pros and con’s. That goes the same for communication technology as we all know is the main way we communicate these days. Since new technologies such as cell phone and email has been introduced, people would rather communicate through phone and email rather then having a face to face conversation .

• This can be a problem because when communicating through cell phone and email, we well have problems such as expressing ourself and also can cause a mislead of information and understanding which can cause an ill feeling to some parties.

• This will also have effect on health issues because with these technologies being misused, users would rather email or call rather then having a walk across the block to have a face to face conversation which sometimes is the best solution to settle some issues and at the same time excercising without them knowing.

• Cell phone users also sometimes talk aloud in public areas such as in the public train or in the public bus without realising they are causing a disturbance among the people around them. Research has also shown that high school students tend to be more overweight these days due to spending most of the time infront of the computers, playing videogames and surveying the internet which will long term cause to physical deterioration.

• Every good thing has it’s negative side, and at the end of the day it’s the users that tend to misuse the communication technologies that is suppose to be a benefit to us into having negative impact as we know.

• With this i personally think that we as users have to be rational to new communicating technologies so that communicating through the pure way such as face to face or across the table discussion does not become abandoned.
