Smartphones: The new mean of communication
The
evolutionary scale of technological development shows us a rising curve,
especially in recent years. The information delivery is no longer in a matter
of days, now it can be acquired in real time, facilitating interaction, whether
the level be familiar, social or a business which is away from us.
Some smartphones
functions are becoming the expression of feelings, moods, situation
descriptions, among others, in a virtual manner. For example, through emoticons-small
icons that describes themselves a human emotion-. Video calls are another added
value. With multiple software options that offer them for free.
But, on the
other hand, technology moves us away from physical contact. In many cases we
abuse these channels and we leave aside personal interaction, arguing the ease
and quickness of these same.
In parallel,
constant damage of our language is evident, especially in spelling, meaningless
abbreviations and bad pronunciation, change of meaning and context; we even
invent words that sound absurd.
Nowadays, technology looks like a double-edged
sword with which we only see and enjoy the benefits it offers at this moment.
In the long run, misuse, disinformation and technological frenzy, could become
an extremely addictive drug, moving us away from what we call "human being
quality".
