Communication in the Modern World

Throughout the 20th century, technology played an increasingly important part in the development of the telephone. Now, we are witnesses of greater changes in the way we communicate.
I have little doubt that the the telephone played a major role in the changes that took place in the last century. By this I mean that hadn't not been for the telephone, we would never have had other developments such as faxes, mobile phones or the Internet. Furthermore, the telephone is an invaluable aid for bussiness and the best way of keeping in touch with friends. After all, most people prefer to pick up the phone rather than writing a letter.
I fully agree that knowing how to use the Internet is a tremendous advantage nowadays. The Net is an incredible source of knowledge and information, both at work and in the home. In addition, it provides with a quick and easy mean of communictaion in the form of e-mails.
As regarding cell phones, there is a lot to be said in defence of them. They are indispensable to work and a great fun for young people. What is more, they are extremely useful in an emergency. Mobile phones make life considerable easier for all of us.
Thanks to technology people are able to communicate far more easily and quickly than ever before. Our actual means of communication have improved a lot and will continue improving. Technological advances are the main responsibles of this possitive changes that the means of communication are having in the modern world.
