It is affected their self-esteem as well as promoted Chinese in them. For example in my country, Zimbabwe, during the 1980s going, 1990s going up once they were limited or no access to cell phones amongst the youth. So They used to communicate publicly. The social interaction and social gatherings were done on the face-to-face basis rather than now. We buy almost every Utefkote phone and they are communicating more visually. So by so doing, they don’t know how to communicate well and they don’t know what language to use and their speech is being affected by that. So I think technologies affected their communication skills and also the way they communicate or express their feelings.
