There are many forms of communication; verbal, non-verbal, written communication and many others. In today’s society everyone uses communication. Technology has greatly increased providing more forms of communication. Years ago there was no such thing as text messaging, Facebook and Twitters. Forms of communication have definitely changed. As Hardt states, “The rise of mass communication is also tied to a realization of the centrality of communication in social settings and the extension of media practices that affect private and public behavior; it prospers with the growth of literacy and the spread of universal education, and bursts forth as a way of life with the popularity off mass-mediated experiences as a modern alternative to self expression” (3). In today’s society people can communicate without having to speak to someone, or even see him or her. Communication has become very informal with new technology. However, communication is something people will always do in any form they choose. We should not take communicating for granted because communication is significant to our world.
