🔆 Transcript: Technology has revolutionized the way we communicate. The digital era has transformed our interaction dynamics, both positively and negatively. Technology has enabled instant connectivity. With social media and messaging apps, we can now stay in touch with friends and family across the globe in real-time. This immediate communication breaks down geographical barriers, fostering global connections. However, technology also brings challenges to interpersonal communication.
