Technology and Communication

The internet and computer technology has given us many advantages but some say that we rely too much on technology, especially when it comes to communication.  People feel that using technology to communicate is impersonal and that today’s students’ writing skills are declining. I agree that communicating through technology isn't as personal. When you write a letter you are using your handwriting and your knowledge of spelling and formatting. But when you type an email or a letter to someone, you have spellcheck, automatic formatting, font styles, and so on. Therefore, it makes it less personal to use technology to communicate. Although, as much as students use technology, they learn the correct way to format things and spell words. It teaches them in everything they do. In conclusion, I disagree that the use of technology is declining student's writing skills.
