与前几代人相比，科技极大地改变了我们在世界各地相互交流的方式。事实上，这些变化如此之大，以至于传统的通讯方式，如信件、电报、甚至电话，正在逐渐消失。通过这些技术的进步，我们现在比以往任何时候都更能控制我们的交流方式，我们有了更多的选择。科技为我们与他人交流开辟了更多的途径。无论是私人交流还是专业沟通，我们现在都有很多选择。

视频通信

也许，改变我们与他人交流方式的最显著的技术进步体现在视频聊天、信息传送或会议举办方面。我们与朋友和家人的交谈因此变得更加个人化。对于企业来说，视频会议使与会者更容易了解实时动态，查看图表、数据、演示文稿等。

快捷沟通它始于短信，并在此基础上有了改进。现在，我们可以在几秒钟内给世界各地的朋友和家人发送短信，还可以添加图片、表情和其他效果。如果你有兼容的智能手机，你就可以发送具备许多个性化选择的信息。

高性价比交流

在过去，我们受制于少数几家传统电话公司之一，不断支付高额的电话资费，特别是国际电话。我们也别忘了，在国外旅行也会增加漫游费。如今，我们甚至不必担心这些费用，因为我们有以下沟通选项：

技术——改变全球通信

WhatsApp——有了这个应用程序，你可以无限发送信息，享受群聊，从你的网络浏览器发送信息，打电话给同样使用这个应用程序的朋友和家人，其中包括免费的国际通话。

微信——这个应用程序类似于WhatsApp，因为它也提供免费的信息发送服务、语音或视频通话、群聊、桌面聊天，甚至可以把信息翻译成你的当地语言。

社交媒体

社交媒体不仅改变了我们的交流方式，也在很多方面改变了我们的日常生活，比如浏览网页、联系他人以及获取新闻。例如，通过社交媒体，我们可以比传统渠道更快地获取新闻，而且我们可以通过它了解全世界的动态趋势。此外，我们可以与我们最喜欢的明星互动，不会错过任何好莱坞八卦。技术——改变全球通信B6WriteInternet,whichhaschangedourworldalot,canbecalledawonderinhumanbeings'development.However,everycoinhastwosides.ReflectonthestrengthsandweaknessesoftheInternet,andthenwriteacompositionentitledas"IsInternetaBlessingoraCurse?"Theframeworkisasfollows:AdvantagesoftheInternetItmakespeopleclosertoeachotherbyemail,QQ,Skype,etc.Itmakespeople’slifeeasierandmoreconvenient.Forexample,peoplecanshoponlineandworkathome.Moreresourcescanbesharedonline.Forexample,e-librarycanprovidenumerousreferencebooks,journalsandothermaterialswhichareimpossibleforareallibrary.Manyrelaxationactivitiescanbecarriedoutonline.……DisadvantagesoftheInternet……Peoplearelostinthevirtualworld,andcannotjoinintherealworld.Peoplespendtoomuchtimeplayingcomputergamesattheexpenseoftheirhealthandwork.Virusesarespreadandthesystemcannotworknormally.Hackersstealinformation,orattacksomewebsitesforpersonalbenefitsandcausegreatlossofgovernments’orcompanies’interest.SampleTheInternethasalwaysbeenadouble-edgedsword,butIthinkitisablessingratherthanacurse.WebenefitalotsincetheInternetcameintobeing.Ithaschangedourlifeandworkdramatically.
