Is technology destroying our communication skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with grace because overtime you lose certain skills and with less talking you are not able to be as confident to talk to other people
I also agree with Sara because we can only talk to people in a short distance while technology has allowed us to talk with relatives all over the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that technology can ruin communication skills physically if it is being consumed largely

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with anastasia, if you are used to being on your phone all the time, you wont get the same experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there are ups and down to having this huge new form of communication.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Anastasia, I think communication has been improved by multiplayer games and social media because it offers a diverse group of people to talk to.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Tucker, I also think that technology ruins communication

# data[].attributes.body
it's weird how we have the same attention spam of goldfish.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they type of technology can have a huge impact on communication that varies with they type.

# data[].attributes.body
There are ways that using technology can improve communication skills, but there are a lot of ways it can have a negative effect on communication skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though technology can actually help people who have trouble talking to others develop relationships over the phone because it creates a digital wall that helps with the anxiety of talking to a real person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Yvonne has a good point with teching kids how to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology just affects the social skills of people differently depending on the way or how much they use it.

# data[].attributes.body
What are the advantages of using technology for communication?

# data[].attributes.body
maddie makes a good point, over screens you cant tell the persons emotion. This can cause problems bceause you wont be able to hear how the person is saying it.

# data[].attributes.body
how does technology ruin talking skills?

# data[].attributes.body
i think that grace has a very good point, because people find comfort behind their screens and then when it comes to real life they are very uncomfortable and cant hold a conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what Grace said was very interesting and I would not have thought that somebody will lose the ability to talk to someone because of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
How can people with social/mental problems be helped by technology?

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of people are making good arguments for both sides.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sarah that technology can help socially anxious people communicate in situations where they might not feel comfortable in person.

# data[].attributes.body
Can technology help improve the detail in which people describe things when communicating?

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology doesn't allow others to develop skills such as reading other people's body language.

# data[].attributes.body
How can technology help people with anxiety talk to others?

# data[].attributes.body
Sarah proves a good point when explaining that people with social anxiety can use their phones to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
It is true of technology allows people with social anxiety to talk to others

# data[].attributes.body
People that can talk well in person can talk well with everyone on every platform but if you only talk people with online its a struggle to talk in person.

# data[].attributes.body
What are benefits of balancing the use of technological communication and in-person communication?

# data[].attributes.body
It is true that we are connected or attached to our devices.

# data[].attributes.body
What can we do to improve the social skills in people with anxiety?

# data[].attributes.body
How can technology help people with mental issues?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sarah with her point that she made about thinking about what you want to say because over text you have all the time to think and usually peoples thoughts go blank when talking in real life which could lead to an overall worse conversation and connection.

# data[].attributes.body
Communicating online you don't get to understand what the person is trying to say as much as face to face contact because the tone may be different online than in person

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sarah, when communicating online you have a lot more time to think about what you want to say before saying it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people can be helped by communicating through technology because it offers anonymous discussion that can help people with social anxiety. Anthony made a good point about this also helping to give people more time to formulate responses.

# data[].attributes.headline
People can say so much behind a screen and not know what do when talking face to face.

Does using technology to talk when having social anxiety help your anxiety?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anastasia that communications online aren't like what they are in real life.

# data[].attributes.body
To be able to get rid of social anxiety you should try and talk to others in person.

# data[].attributes.body
How does the conversations we have in person differ from ones online?

# data[].attributes.body
Will using technology actually help with social anxiety or just make it worse?

# data[].attributes.body
Technology can help people get more confident, but when it comes to the in-person conversation it gets more tough, so communication through technology can have a bad impact.

# data[].attributes.body
I think communicating with people in person also helps with building relationships and allows others to connect more because you can read and see them

# data[].attributes.body
It is true that there is a difference between being shy and having social anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
Can talking over the phone worsen anxiety?

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with what anthony said, because you have more time to think about how you want to respond, while in real life you just have a few seconds, and talking in person shows more raw emotions then when talking over text.

# data[].attributes.body
Two people talking to each other in person can help them bond and grow their friendship.

# data[].attributes.body
There's a lot more miscommunication when talking to people and friends online. People can misunderstand sentences with the wrong tone and take it in a different way.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with sara, technology can be used as a tool to help us communicate and not to use it in a way to take away the in person contact.

# data[].attributes.body
A positive side for technology is it connects people to other cultures around the world, and people can share their ideas freely with others

# data[].attributes.body
Has technology actually affected our personal communication skills?

# data[].attributes.body
Can talking in person increase social anxiety through embarrassment?

# data[].attributes.body
It can be hard to communicate with others when you are afraid that they are going to judge what you say.

# data[].attributes.body
Video games can help improve the way people describe things, allowing for people to understand your point easier.

# data[].attributes.body
People with social anxiety are affected differently than other people by technology

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anastasia that talking to someone about your anxiety can help with social anxiety, and I agree with Sarah that technology can still play a role in reducing anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
How can technology help people with social anxiety improve their discussion skills?

How does online gaming affect communication?

# data[].attributes.body
How does technolgy improve communication in jobs?

# data[].attributes.body
How can people use technology to learn and improve their craft?

# data[].attributes.body
I think for people with social anxiety technology has benefits to help reduce it, but if they are too consumed and secluded in the online world to a certain point where they don't talk to others in person that's when it can worsen communication skills and weaken relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that technology can both help but also hurt how we interact with people in real life.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with grace because technology has improved careers and have allowed them to develop more high tech devices.

# data[].attributes.body
Grace makes a really good point by listing a common insecurity that humans have and stating that technology can help us get away from all of those insecurities.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with anastasia that social media isn't really help people with their self esteem and it can cause body issues from a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
Sara makes a good point. In social media there can be dangers, but we have to work on not allowing certain things to affect us in negative ways.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that social media can majorly harm people mentally, because people can see other and get jealous of what they look like, which can cause lots of major self esteem issues.

# data[].attributes.body
do you think that social media is helping or hurting people mentally?

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology might have a negative effect on children today because I have a 2 year old cousin that knows how to work a phone already and that could cause her to have less face to face communication and not develop the skills that she needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology can affect kids majorly nowadays but if someone is maybe a teenager or adult and knows how to interact with others physically then it isn't really negative.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anthony. When talking online people can take what you say in a different context and think something completely different from what you intended.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anthony because texting isn't all that reliable because of miscommunication and the inability to read emotions over a screen so we will most likely use real person communication skills to help us in the future.

does the effect of technology on someone's brain change as they get older?
