In chapter four of our “Group Communication” textbook, I found the section “Master Communication Technology” to be useful. The section discusses how technology has evolved over the years and how it keeps advancing in this day of age. It is important that we know at least some basics of technology, because our social world is evolving into the technological era and those who have no knowledge of it will quickly fall behind. The section starts off with pagers and describes how they receive and store information. It goes on to telephones and how they have gone wireless with hidden keyboards. Teleconferencing is now being used when people cannot meet up with one another; they schedule conferences over the phone and it helps reduce travel costs. E-mail is another important communication technology presently. E-mail is popular because you can communicate with one another and keep the e-mails as records. Also you can send one message to multiple recipients at once. Last is the internet which is one of the biggest communication technology models. Many people use the internet on a daily basis and gives many people access to new information. I thought it was useful to know all these communication technology models because many of them listed we use on a daily basis.
I really enjoyed reading your post! It is so interesting to hear that technology has not always been this advanced and in a few years it will be even more improved and updated as it is now. I personally feel excited to see what they will come up with next; everything that has been created over the years has been incredibly useful and helpful to everyone; despite ones gender, race, or religious beliefs. Some of the older generations do not see the usefulness of the incredible advancement in technology; however, technology was not a part of their daily lives then as it is now.
