    Technology has a major impact on our ability to communicate and technology directly affects how we impacts our face-to-face communications.Technology has brought people together. Before, people primarily used face to face communication and letter writing. Though with the coming of the telephone, we were able to speak with people thousands of miles away.  With the advent of mobile technologies like phones and the Internet, we can now text or send images/videos anywhere in the world.  

 "Technology has brought the world together, and at the same time made us more lazy. "

"To some this seems like a good idea, but we can end up hiding from one another, even as we are constantly connected one another"

-A flight from conversation by Sherry  Turkle
