Not too long ago, writing letters was a common way to communicate with friends and relatives all around the world. Not only writing letters, but also physical, one on one communication was seen quite often. Now a day, people communicating through the use of technology is more commonly seen. For example, instead of writing letters, e-mails are sent out. Not only e-mailing, but social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, and several others, have also made it simpler for people to communicate without having the need to hand-write letters. Technology has made it easier for people to communicate whether it’d be with your sibling in the next door room, or your relative in England. Although technology has improved communication skills, so to say, it has also taken away people’s ability to interact with one another in a more sociable way. Technology has also flipped around the way children are being taught in school.
