- The invention of the telephone, rather tan being a great benefit to society,
is responsible for a breakdown in communication. Because of the
telephone, we have fax machines, the internet, mobile phones and the
death of letter writing – all of the things which have led to the poor
communication which exists between people today.
- I have little doubt that the telephone played a major role in the changes
that took place in the last century. By this I mean that, had it not been for
the telephone, we would never have had other developments, such as
faxes, mobiles or the internet. Furthermore, the telephone is an
invaluable aid for businesses and particularly suitable for keeping in
touch with friends. After all, most people prefer to pick up the phone
rather than write a letter.
- I have little doubt that instead of getting closer, we are moving further
apart. By this I mean that communications do not really help us
understand each other, especially in areas such as politics. Furthermore,
computers are not really suitable for doing one’s work. After all, human
contact is very important too.
- We live in the Information Age and a revolution is taking place in the way
we communicate. Compression of time and space has come about. This
is not science fiction - I can communicate information with the same ease
and speed to someone in Japan as I can to mu own next-door neighbour.
A revolution has taken place and is seems that the idea of the global
village is no longer a utopian idea.
- Smart phones, tablets, mobiles with their own software in have changed
the way we communicate is a way we could hardly had imagined. Time
and space have disappeared and we, no longer, take those aspects into
account but the urgent need to say something. Humans are social
individuals and all this new technology is a different way to keep us
connected inside the global community, the world we live in.
FRIENDSHIP
- It’s not particularly easy to meet new people nowadays. I suppose in the
past, when communities were smaller and closer it was simpler. Then
anyone new coming into the community was introduced to everyone else
but now, although we should in theory be able to meet a lot of new
people because we live in huge densely populated cities, people are
either very lonely or stay within a small group of friends and actively
discourage outsiders from joining it.
- It’s quite significative the fact that today, while human creativity and
technology have blossomed, we have steadily been destroying the
ecology of the planet on which we depend for our survival. Every day the
diversity of life on Earth gets poorer because of our overuse of resources
and our disregard for the riches of nature.
- Ecologically, our natural habitats provide services without which life on
the planet would become impossible. When we tamper with the
environments, it is not just nature which suffers. Our own way of life is
under threat.
Besicos guapa.
