Other Blogs Relating to My Research Topic

When I started to search around for other blogs relating to "losing communication", it was very difficult.  I did not know how to search on the web for my topic, but i thought of the phrase "how has technology changed the way we communicate?".  I searched that a found a few interesting blogs.  In on of the blogs, Angies Blog, she says, "To me, the obvious answer as to whether or not technology drives/determines the way we think, read, and communicate is, "yes, of course." However, I think the more difficult question is how does technology determine or change the way we communicate and portray our thoughts?".  I thought about what she was saying and I think I know what she meant.  To me, this means different technologies are used for different thoughts.  For instance, people underage would not put that "they are going out" on their facebook because they could get into trouble.  They use other ways of technology, like texting to say the same answer, just to a different person.  She also said, "Overall I think that we definitely have an altered sense of communication now that the use of technology is becoming more second nature than picking up a book to read."  You can relate this to how we communicate between each other.  We always text or Facebook people now more than we actually talk to people face-to-face or hear their voices.  We choose the easy way and not the friend way.  I think that we are losing the sense of a friendship because we don't seem to talk to these friends in real life, but more on the Facebook life.


The next blog I thought related to my paper was on radsmarts.com.  It wasn't the blog, more the conversations that were going on between the writers and the article writer.  He asked questions like In your opinion, has technology (e.g. mobile phone, Internet) changed the way we communicate with each other?  I said yes, and for the worse.  We don't like seeing peoples faces now.  We would rather send a text to our love ones than hear their voices over a phone call.  We are losing the sense of love and relationships and it really sucks.  To read more about the article, click here and read my comment.  It is very interesting to read other peoples views on communication and how it has changed over the years.
