Technology’s Effect on Social Communication

Krystina Malfa

HISTORY OF COMMUNICATION

The ability to share information

Keeps businesses and factories running

Helps people in trouble contact police, ambulances, fire departments, and doctors

Our military forces would be useless

Transportation and food supply would not meet the needs of people

We would lose contact with friends and family

There would be no radio, television, movies, or most entertainment

HOW I USE TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNICATE

IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Did you know…

Teens who use Facebook more

often show more narcissistic tendencies as

well as signs of other

psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies

Daily overuse of media and

technology has a negative effect on

the health of all children and

teenagers by making them more prone to anxiety, depression,

and other psychological

disorders, as well as by making them

more susceptible to future health

problems

Facebook can be distracting and can negatively

impact learning. Studies found that middle school, high school and college

students who checked Facebook

at least once during a 15-minute

study period achieved lower

grades

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

It will become less and less common for people

to personally interact with one another

because of social media networking

Global business and communication will keep expanding

Education will become more advanced and

using technologies in the classroom will become even

more common amongst both teachers and

students

People will not be able to live their every day

life without their communication

devices
