What do you notice changes in behavior, sociological changes in societies in connection with the advancement of telecommunications technologies?
More and more information is contained in our smartphones? More and more practical information, contacts etc. are archived in smartphones without remembering them.
Once, in the era of fixed-line telephony, people knew by heart the telephone number, whereas now in the era of mobile telephony, mobile, when all information is stored on a smartphone, people remember less and less.
In connection with the above, it is an example of the progressive changes in behavior, sociological changes in societies in connection with the progress of information and telecommunications technologies.
Do you notice these changes?
What are you noticing other progressive changes in behavior, sociological changes in societies in connection with the progress of information and telecommunications technologies?

Best wishes
We were sitting in class room, and we were wishing each other through WhatsApp,on the occasion of Navrose, and not directly face to face, while we were sitting right next to each other. I verbalized, why we don't wish to each other, directly face to face, and then all of us suddenly remembered to wish, in more direct way. All technologies have its impacts on human life, that can be good or not so good, but we can't avoid completely with that influence. Another example, we are wired globally, who can imagine, two to three decades ago, that persons from developing countries can have their contribution to knowledge sharing and dissemination with developed Nations directly through media portals....
The more information,the less knowledge and at least understanding.
Digital applications like mobile phones have provided us with considerable changes at social and personal levels. As an illustration, nowadays we are witnessing how citizens shout into their phones discussing unlikely venues and issues of personal nature in public places quite uninhibited by the presence of those around them.
As far as my perception goes, advancements in telecommunication has made the members of the families to get isolated. They think that surfing through the social media is the only relaxation. But the inter personal relationship among the family members is missing. Even they talk less to each other because of this impact. But, it is very useful in knowledge industry. Suppose if any student want to clarify any doubt, immediately they are googling it out and getting it clarified.
Finally it is like a double edged sword. It depends upon the person those who are using it.
The worst part is that it affects children and the formation of their social skills.
I see that it has two positive aspects and the other negative. The positive of technology to society is to facilitate the daily life of individuals and facilitate them as the individual can accomplish many work in a time and effort a few and very quickly. Many of the individuals' actions, movements, orientations, financial and government transactions, education, research, follow-up to news and events, and many details of technology have facilitated them in a way they would not have done if they did not have the technology. The convergence of peoples and the shortening of distances between them. Technology has helped make the world look like a small village. People get to know each other without the need to travel and have relationships and friendships from around the world. • Developing the culture of individuals and expanding their perceptions, and keeping them up to the events of the world without any excuses between them and other communities. • Develop the capabilities of individuals by providing all means of learning: such as learning languages, learning programs and other positive things.
The downside of technology to the community is to reduce the actual communication between individuals. Telephonics and text messages have replaced the actual communication, bringing about a radical change in the concept of interdependence. And family cohesion based on aid and assistance. Alvin Toffler wrote in his book The Third Wave: "Civilization has brought us a new family style and changed the ways of working.
This is interesting query. I think there are two ways to think about it. Firstly, we have extended ourselves and our information about other groups and cultures on a scale that is expansive and incredibl. Secondly, people have distanced themselves from others sitting next to them and become lonely. Overall, I feel that we are gathering more psychological space in our devices but have no real time sense of people's lives and events happening right in front of us.
What is the most important here is that it disconnects people from nature. People tend to observe surroundings less and less.
I think it can also affect the development of some senses, like smell and taste.
Personal relationship is continuously affected with very worst and There is no normal and usual communication between couples. Youngsters felt happy with their mobiles and direct human relationship not necessary and they wish to believe the relationship which come through the telecommunication.
A positive side is, for me, the possibility verifying and contrasting facts. The effect should be a better precision and acurateness in reflexion, but, by paradoxe, we assist to a proliferation of "fakes". Another positive side is we can access to a memory or "hemerothec" for the people, as politics, with their passed words and facts, wich encourages a better responsability.
worst impact on school and college students, no interaction, no family affection. one should understand the what is the usage of technology.
Advantages of advancement telecommunication technologies are more but youths, college students all the time, they will be on mobile, they will be chatting or browsing irrelevant things. instead of taking use of technology, they are misusing it and percent of misuse is double than proper use
