To communicate is to exchange information, always between 2 or more people or people or groups. There are many resources you can use to communicate, some of which include: speech, sign language, the computer, and the telephone/cell phones. Another communication device is a television. When you are watching the news, the broadcasters are communicating information, although not directly to you. This type of communication can be considered one person, or 2, due to the fact that the listener is not communicating back, but information is being exchanged from one person to another, anywhere in the world. In our world today, the opportunities to communicate are endless. When you’re supposed to doing homework, you can be instant messaging one of your friends. When you are having a family dinner, you can be text messaging some one under the table. These are just a few pieces of technology that we can use to communicate with somebody half way around the world, with only a touch of a button. There are many positive and negative aspects of the devices that are available to communicate at this point in time. Now a days, using the technology that is available, makes it so much easier to keep up with friends who live far away, and that you don’t get to see that often. You can also meet new friends on the internet, although this is not always the safe and secure method to use. The internet has endless possibilities. At this point in time, the most popular uses of communication on the computer are Msn Messenger, e-mail, and Myspace, for example. Many people don’t believe in peer networking places like Myspace, as it can be abused very easily. It is definitely an easy way to meet new friends, and keep up with your old ones, but sometimes people you meet on this website aren’t who you think they are. There have been many cases of girls, who have met guys on this website, whom they feel they are attracted to. In some cases, there have been horrible things that have happened to these girls. This is definitely a negative aspect of communication on the internet. I believe communication is the most useful tool we have. If we did not have communication, we would not be able to interact with other people. We would be living in a very boring world if this was so.
