COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY ESSAY

Communication Technology is the term used to describe the various methods of correspondence that are currently available. The term mainly refers to a computer based means of sending and receiving information, examples include texting, voicemail, email and social networking. The internet is now ready available in most households, companies and generally any place where people gather. Mobile phones have seen a huge advancement, in the past seven years, up till then most phones didn't have internet connection, except phones that were very expensive, but now you can watch videos, download music, play games and connect to internet on nearly all mobile phones available to buy. Social networking sites such as Facebook, my space and twitter allow people to expand their network of friends via the internet. People can display information about themselves and up date this information via newsfeeds. 'Blogging' has become increasingly popular in the past three years and allows the 'blogger' to update and share his/her opinions on certain subjects.

There are advantages and disadvantages to Communication Technology, as we become more advanced in this field the more dependent we become on it for our every day existence.If your computer crashes or the internet is unavailable we become irritable and impatient, webecome less self-relient and more distant from others. I know that my 14 year old daughter is completely relient on her iphone and ipad, if i suggest that she leaves her iphone or ipad off for an hour or so she becomes upset at the thought of not having her 'lifeline' with her. These have become essential for her and her friends. These 'gadgets' are not cheap and if the latest product can't be afforded this can create problems within the family and jealousy with friends. The 'i want what she has'..... syndrome.

It is hard to create a balance on the time spent on

    After reading the paper written by Mark Carty, on “Communication Technology in Social Movements” it all seemed to make sense. Power really is a violent relationship with almost everything, if not everything. The paper exemplified how the power of communication technology is violent and extremely dominant over higher authority. Cell phones took over the Internet and landlines in terms of communication, and that’s when the text message/SMS began to grasp power. Technological advances were and still are moving at a rapid rate and becoming very dominant around the world. I will elaborate in my paper on how communication technology’s power dominance created violence.…

    The increased availability of electronic information affects me and my family greatly in our day to day activities, this has had a major impact on my life over the past few years in particular, for example I access a variety of different screen-based documents such as, e-mails, text messages, internet web pages, television etc. The decrease of paper-based documents has been extremely rapid with me and parents, with my parents accessing work material over the internet rather than being handed a paper based report. This has also impacted me as I use text messages to speak with my parents, family and friends, making it efficient for me to talk to them on the go and quickly. This saves me the journey of having to walk to friends or families houses, although these mobile phones do run on a portable battery, these are not always the most efficient making people unavailable, which is a disadvantage to this. Also another mutual thing that has affected me and parents greatly is the way that we search information; years ago I would simply walk to the library and borrow a textbook, or enquire with my parents or teachers about certain information. Now I have unlimited access to a computer with various different search engines such as; Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves etc. I can search for whatever information that I seek, and I have search…
