Evolution of Technology changes the Human Behavior in terms of Communication (Based from the topic Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle)
Conversation and Communication are two different words that seem to have the same meaning but served two different levels of impact to human lives, both are powerful tools that got us convey our message across yet people tend to be mistaken about the real sense of conversation against communication.
Internet accesses and our gadgets made communication speedy and in just a click of our finger our message is brought to the person and place where we desire for it to reach, without practicing the virtue of patience as we wait to send it through letter and without enjoying the thrill of long-wait as we wait for someone's response.
We closed business transactions through phone calls yet because conversation lacks, defense from sinister traps and fraud is sometimes not avoided. We inform and got informed on things through social media. We got to find our neighbors, elementary and highschool classmates thru internet and when someone is alone he even find company of friends through facebook and so had deprived himself of self-reflection that supposed to give him time and chance to realized how far have he gone in life. When someone woke up and conversed with GOD through prayers he could make the best conversation he could gave in his life, yet at some points when gadget was on his side he would rather browse on it for quick information and plans for the day, ignoring the divine guidance at its best.
Students' life are made easy for they can find and search on their assignments and on other things they ought to learn through internet yet many of them went-astray, through internet accesses they were able to communicate with other and plan for an out and some were addicted to online games with online friends, thereby neglecting and forgot that they are there to build their future. In terms of relationship with their parents, since the technology nowadays is at its maximum state and still upgrading, they tend to talk to A.I or other things that are provided from technology instead of having a conversation with their parents about life and other stuffs.
Conversation is best for it is a face to face type of connection and so feelings follow, the reason why family should converse every now and then to make members in-touch rather that being "alone together". Many families were broken through internet accesses and gadgets yet equally, many families were made together again, bruises were healed as conversation took its place.
Now therefore, conversation and communication are two different best tools that should be taken and utilized according to its uses and purposes.
