Aaron Svoboda - Post #3


The advancements in media and technology have greatly increased the rate at which other social groups can interact by making it much more convenient and accessible thing to do in one’s daily life. Thanks to the internet we now can meet new people from around the world every day and talk with and learn from them about their day to day life and culture. Before in the past you would literally have to travel to other parts of the globe to learn from the people in a specific culture or social group directly, or read about it in a book. I myself meet people daily on the internet from the many different video games I play. There are some cons to this ease of access though. One con for technology in communication is it eliminates the need to meet people face to face, and all though you can learn much over the phone, or computer, there is no substation for meeting a person in real life, and seeing their world in person.
