I wrote the attached chapter, Communication in a Connected World, (pdf) for the text book used in one of The University of Texas at El Paso's (UTEP) core courses, UNIV 2350 - Interdisciplinary Technology and Society. The course description is: "Students in this course will be introduced to approaches to technology assessment and will examine social, cultural, and environmental consequences of technology. Problem solving in small groups assigned to research, analyze, discuss, and arrive at possible solutions for a broad range of topics related to technology and society. Specific topics may vary with instructor. Strategies effective uses of electronic technology in support of electronic technology in suppport of research are emphasized" (UTEP Undergraduate Catalog, 2000 through 2002, p. 82).
Communication is an interaction with others. Like so many areas of our life, technology is making a significant impact on how we do things. The hand-written letter full of news about events in others' lives has been replaced with forwarding emails - originated at some unknown time by some unknown person - to three hundred close friends.
