My favourite way of communicating would probably be texting or calling, usually when it’s something important i call my friends or family, if it’s not as important and i can wait for an answer i text. If i had no phone or social media i would be lost as i have sooo much family down south and up here in the north

In elementary school we would go as a class to the computer lab, we would often play on Y8 or other gaming sites for an hour, as we got older we would bring in computer carts to do work on Word and what not.

Social media is a great way to communicate with one another and you can connect with people from different countries and cultures. Facebook and WhatsApp is what I use and prefer I like to keep it very limited.

The way people communicate has changed a lot over time. In the past, people wrote letters or waited to hear news on the radio or TV, which made communication slower and often led to deeper conversations. Today, messages and emails are sent instantly, making communication faster and easier. However, information can also spread quickly, including misinformation.

I like the fact you can keep in touch with family when you live far away and see pictures of WEDDINGS and special celebrations. What I don't like about fb is ppl can write very mean things and some use it as a platform to Bully. That's not cool or appropriate. That is abuse!! I find ppl are brave on fb but would never say the things they say to someones face. To me that is a coward. I go back and forth around social media. Maybe because I am old.. d

I like the landline as my folks are 94 years old and they like to chat. I find the calls keep us connected. d

Technology has a significant impact on the newer generation. Today, many children spend a large amount of time using devices such as tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles. Online games, social media, and digital entertainment have become a major part of their daily lives.

As a result, fewer children are spending time playing outside and exploring the outdoors. Outdoor activities that once encouraged physical exercise, creativity, and social interaction are happening less often. This shift can affect children’s physical health, social skills, and overall development.

Communication has also changed. Many people now connect primarily through devices—text messages, video calls, and social media platforms—rather than face-to-face conversations. While technology allows us to stay connected easily and quickly, it can sometimes reduce opportunities for developing strong interpersonal and communication skills in person.

Although technology offers many benefits, such as access to information and learning opportunities, it is important to find a healthy balance. Encouraging outdoor play, family interaction, and real-life social experiences can help support children’s overall growth and well-being

I find computers are a good way of communicating sending back to back emails and keeping in touch with colleagues. Sending emails to those in the community, finding open spaces for daycare to visit for field trips as well.
