[1] The development of technology in the last decades has
considerably improved our lifestyles. It has made its impact
felt on each and every aspect of life, also on the communication
[4] techniques. Everything has both a positive and negative impact,
and the impact of technology on the communication process
also comes as mixed baggage.
[7] Technology has transformed the once big and far
world into a tiny global village. Thanks to technology, we now
have the power to communicate with anybody on the other side
[10] of the world. Technology has brought the world closer and
promoted exchange of thoughts to find better solutions to any
problem. Services like video-conferencing have made it
[13] possible to provide students with best education via the web.
The most prominent negative effect of technology is
that the charm of the good old world is missing. The lengthy
[16] face-to-face conversations have been slowly going away, and
have been replaced by texting or chatting. The current young
generation lacks essential interpersonal skills (the ability to
[19] express the ideas and thoughts to others face-to-face).

since the recent remarkable technological progress the world has witnessed, people’s life has no longer been the same.
