Hello there, We are in the period of globalization and technology. There are many useful communicating technologies such as telephone and internet that provide people get more easily communication. Every technologies make people more convienence. In my opinion, a major useful communicating technologies is that internet. I get more knowledges and broad information from internet. It consumes a short time to get various knowledges and numerous data. Additionally, I use internet with Skype which makes me contact with my family members who have been in other country easily ,and also it has the lowest costs. Another technology is that using email. I often use email alot ;though, cell phone technology is such convenient tool.
Also, I strongly confident that people now have better tools to communication that before. For example,in the past, the old people wrote mails and took many months to get relatives' mails from another places. Even though, we have good technology, we should not less face-to-face communication with others as the words of Joseph Priestly. If we use communicating technologies alot, we will lose a sociable skill. That is my two cents worth.
