No, I would disagree. I think technological advancements have greatly improved our communication skills and the way we can interact with each other today. I know that in the past years there were telephones or there were letters which are posted to our relatives or our friends and families living in another city or in another country. But nowadays, technology has helped us to communicate with our relatives or friends and families in any part of the world. And if we don’t know a particular language, or we don’t know the pronunciation of a particular word from a language, we can easily use our mobiles and search on different websites to learn a language. And we can also enhance our accent in English or any other language from the world, which would ultimately enhance our communication skills. So I would say technology has greatly improved the way we communicate and interact with each other. Nowadays.
