Question

Write an essay on change in communication in the Era of Technology​

Answer 1

Answer:

Society today relies on technology for far too many things that are not necessary. Instead of human contact and face to face interactions and communication that have been used since the beginning of human existence it has become strictly email and networking based communication. There is no human contact that reinsures an individual that they have the support and love that accompanies the Greek term Philia, meaning friend. Without that human contact that should come with friendship it is unsure to which the intent of the context is suppose to be interoperated. Technology becoming increasingly more manipulative in its uses diminishes the conception of Philia, unaware of whether or not it is genuine or falsely recognized.

For those who struggle with communication this form of communication becomes effective and practical. “…Using the internet and social networking sites actually appears to reduce loneliness and improve well-being, as was reported as long ago as 2002 in the Journal of Social Issues (vol 58, p 49). People who have difficulties with conventional socializing, such as those with Asperger’s syndrome, experience great benefits” (Marshall 2009). Those with communication immobility are able to express and communicate with others, forming friendships through technology. Even though that particular friendship is missing the depths of agape it is the littlest form of friendship that fills a void towards acceptance.
