Technology alters the way we communicate by making communication easier but less personal. For example, the evolution of long distance conversations seems to have almost gone backwards; hand-written letters to phone calls to text messages.But this is not the case all of the time. Skype allows people to video chat face-to-face. Technology has made our ability to send messages instantaneous in almost real-time. The speed of sending information has increased as technology has enhanced. Now it takes moments and even then we are impatient for a reply.
