While standing in the
bank, on the phone to the bank or more accurately ‘currently held in a queue’
to said bank, I got to thinking… Has the communication era brought us only
benefits?
Of course there are great advantages to being in constant
contact with the whole wide world. No doubt countless lives have been saved thanks
to immediate and reliable connections. Remote areas are now more accessible
than ever. Letters and messages can be delivered in an instant. Celebrities can
be limited to 140 characters. However, there are some drawbacks to being
instantly accessible to everyone, everywhere.
