Every person in the developed world uses communication technologies daily, if not hourly. Communication technology has created the information highway and made the immense wealth of human knowledge accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. As a result, communication technology has broadened our scope of thinking beyond our single community and allowed us to glimpse other cultures. We use technology in different contexts such as at home, at work or even in something more extreme such as on the battlefield. Advances in communications have enabled disabled workers to re-enter the workforce and helped students earn degrees without ever setting foot in a classroom. While communications technology has the ability to link various units in a war zone so they can plan and fight simultaneously as a single force, rather than fragmented groups. Regardless, the definition of humanity is constantly evolving, but humans are making these changes, not machines or microchips. Technological advances in communications have made information more accessible – seemingly ubiquitous – thus connecting homogeneous societies and creating a global community. Communication technology has evolved exponentially over the millennia, laying the fundamental foundations necessary for today's global society. The modern digital lifestyle and instant communication have their roots in interpersonal communication and group communication around the fires of antiquity. Humanity's inherent need to disseminate opinions and information has led to technological advances in this field such as the movable type printing press, the telegraph, mass-circulation newspapers, and finally the Internet. Each of these... half of the card......y to improve his life and connect with others around him. This action and empowerment of man while merging with machine increases the sense of control humanity has over its creations and technology. The amount of information, and the ease with which we can access this information, has allowed humanity to advance at an exponential rate. in the last century. The flow of knowledge and sharing of innovative ideas has never been faster. Society uses communication technology as a tool to accomplish a task, just as humans developed stone tools to butcher meat three million years ago. The fusion of man and technology has changed the meaning of being human, but it has not diminished our humanity. Thoughts, ideas, cultures and wills will continue to be shared around the world and transform our species; however, humanity remains in control of its own destiny.
