How I Use New Communication Technologies With My Friends And Family
I use many new communication technologies with my friends and family. I mainly use smart phones, computers and to be specific I use Skype quite a lot because my sister lives in London and it is a great way to see her when speaking to her. Skype has changed human relationships around the globe by helping people do things together, whenever they are apart (Yeung, 2013). I have been using these communication technologies for about five years. I feel like school friends and the media influenced me to start using these technologies as it felt like everybody was using them so I had to. I do have some concerns for privacy but most of the time I really don’t have much to hide so I’m not extremely protective or concerned. I do have friends whom I know only from the internet and have never met in person and it is different to some friends I have in real life because sometimes I feel I can talk to them about anything because they won’t judge me. There is definitely more ease in opening up to people in conversations online than rather than real life.
