I noticed two major themes in this TED Talk by Michael Wesch.
First, Wesch posits that how we communicate can essentially change the way people relate to one another. Relationships can be and have been altered by the use of technology and social media. I absolutely agree with this theory because I have seen the changes that have taken place as a result of the widespread use of mobile devices. Texting, social media, and other forms of non face-to-face communication and interaction have created a world that is very different from the one that I grew up in. For example, people can quickly communicate with others in short sound bites. It would be interesting to learn how this form of communication affects relationships over time. It would also be interesting to know if people who rely heavily on social media actually become more isolated than those who do not.
