How Plugged In are we Really?




Technology has impacted many things that we do on a day to day basis. When it come to communications, it has really changed the way we communicate and has changed the way communicators do their jobs.  The advancements of technology such as phones, tablets, laptops, etc have enhanced the ability for communicators to do their job. Because of how quickly information can be shared in today's society, it is imperative for communicators to understand what they are trying to say and how they need to present it. With platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and just the internet itself, communicators are able to spread news quickly and conviently. Email has played an important role in communication and just about every device today has some form of email template that people can stay connected to.


The internet and social media have made the role of communication easier and more efficient. By being able to log on from anywhere at anytime and connect with someone around the globe in a matter of minutes, shows how technology has changed the way we interact. It seems that no longer are people sitting down and chatting anymore, instead they always seem to just be plugged in to whatever is in front of them. Without technology, it almost feels as though communicators have to work double. Technology makes it easier to navigate around different platforms, it makes it easier to reach out to others and allows for stories and information to spread rapidly with a click of a button. Technology is who we are today. It is constant change, it is a sense of reality and it provides us with joy and happiness when we need it.
