Technology, media and social groups-- Ann Magnuson

     As types of media and technology have developed, a vast number of ways to successfully communicate between different social groups on a global scale has evolved. Technology and media have allowed productive communication because they have allowed communication. Before their development, there was little any communication besides letters or horse and buggy. Now, the world is a smaller place because it's more accessible. This is beneficial because it lessens the discrepancy between groups. Presidents, dictators, world leaders are able to communicate and understand one another rather than assume the other's intentions or next move. In some ways, technology and media have allowed negative interactions between groups such as threats or signs of disrespect which may lead to intergroup conflict.
