Nowadays various types of communication advents in our society such as ,letters, email or telephone calls. Those who prefer the old might say that it is more nature and appropriate for people to have a communication firsthand, However I disagree with the statement in the topic, there are two major reasons.
Foremostly, modern communication tools help people to save lots of time. Some people might think that they could have a deep communication meeting with others, However, From riding a taxi for several times to finding a coffee shop to talk with people, there is nothing more uncomfortable thing than meeting firsthand. in contrast, by using email or cell-phone, we could not only write a letter to co-worker sitting in front of a computer, but also call to family or friend immediately using phone. As society is getting more complicated, the pattern of human life is getting faster, therefore the role of time has changed, in past it was to have a happy time with friends and family, but now it is to work hard and improve our skills, in order to survive in this dog eat dog society. Thus, using modern type of communication is the more wise choice than meeting with others directly.
As far as the innovation of technology is concerned, there would be not different between talking directly and using modern tools because, there was a great change in our world, like the development of the internet, the change of cell-phone. in the past we could not use cell phone at some places, such as mountain and building, but we could use it everywhere and anytime in nowadays, and the most importantly internet start to provide a space to have conversation with friends and co-workers. For example, when I was in america, I related with our family using the chatting service in internet. because all of payment was in the cost of the internet, I do not have to pay extra-cost, in this sense, it is nature for people prefer to have modern types of communication instead of relating directly.
In summary, I think that using letters, cell-phones is more desirable and effective way than having communication face to face, because, we have to spend our time on more valuable things, and modern communication has developed enough to satisfy peoples' demands. |
