How Has The Use Of Technology Affected Peoples Ability To Communicate Face To Face?

/in /by

 

Technological advancement in the last century has had a drastic  impact on the way individuals communicate. The introduction of  ever-progressing cell phone technology, personal computers, and social  media has enabled increased control over our personal interactions with  each other and is playing a large part in the shifting of social values  and priorities. As communications technologies continue to advance ever  further, it calls to question whether the shift in communications is a  good thing or a bad thing and whether technology is aiding or hurting  personal relationships.

After reading the module notes and all of the supplemental materials, respond to the following:

  • How has the use of technology affected peoples ability to communicate face to face?
  • Do you think that the mere presence of technology, such as in the  form of smart phones, affects peoples ability to communicate with  individuals in a public place?
  • Has the increase of technology decreased both the quantity and  quality of face-to-face interactions? In what ways have you experienced  these changes?
  • Do you see a change (increase or decrease) in this human-technology dependency in the future? What kind of change do you favor?

Support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited.

 A windshield survey is conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Conditions and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population should be noted. This data provides background and context for working with individuals and families in their community.  Information gathered from this survey should be added to this template.  Make sure to include data (i.e. statistical, informational, geographic), along with a reference page.

As we look around us, we can see how much technology places an impact  in our lives.  There are a few jobs that have already been replaced or  are starting to be replaced right before us.  One of the jobs is a  cashier at a grocery store being replaced self check out.  I know that  at times, especially with the younger generation, there is a preference  to check items out independently and avoid social interaction, rather  than go to a cashier, and therefore the rise in self checkouts make  cause the elimination of the cashier.  Another cashier role that could  be gone in the next few years, is the cashier at fast food restaurants.   There has already been a movement of self checkouts at these  establishments as well. Along with these jobs, really anything that  involves repetitive motions is up for grabs by some sort of automation  technology, because robots are cheaper , faster, and stronger than us.  Within the next 10 years, tasks that can be learned will be automated.  The focus for most engineers at the moment is advancing the Level of  Automation (LOA) across the board to more advanced applications in  industry.(Expert Panel, 2019)

            I think jobs that are more artistic and creative will not  be surrendered to technology.  The thing that makes us unique is that  everyone is different and therefore we will different food, and music,  and I do not believe that technology will be able to deliver a way that  will replace human creativity.

            The technological advance taking place will eliminate  some jobs, but it will also lead to new jobs. A while ago when jobs were  taken by factories, new jobs were created to man the factories. Kevin  Kelly wrote in his article, Let the robots take the jobs, and let them  help us dream up new work that matters.(Kelly, 2018) As technology  grows, we will think of new ideas and fill jobs that are needed to grow  with technology, which is good for social progress.

            As far as the future, I saw the flying cars and the super  contact lenses that let you zoom in to something miles away.  I see  technology from the Black Mirror TV show coming true, but again, humans  still have jobs in the future, and are constantly innovating and  progressing with the technology they create.
