You're right, it's hard to answer simply yes or no. When I FaceTime with my granddaughter, who lives over 1,000 miles away, it makes for a more satisfying communication vs a phone call. However, the ability to communicate hidden behind anonymous profiles allows a lot of mean-spiritedness, as well as misinformation. Truly important issues get lost in the endless chatter because everyone is too busy talking. We learn more by listening, and it's becoming a lost art.
Do you feel technology has enhanced or diminished our society's ability to communicate well?
Cannot be properly answered by yes no. Do you feel technology has A) enhanced or B) diminished our society's ability to communicate well? In which case my answer would be B. Everyones talking, everyones got something to say. Very little is of value to life, living, very few are listening.
Thanks for your perspective, Jose.
