The new tools of communication and its critics

The rapid development of communication tools makes it easier now to get in touch with an incredible number of people across the world to communicate quickly, easily and efficiently. However, again, some people believe that these new ways of communicating are transient, they diminish our expertise in using the language and they threaten our privacy.

A little reminder, in the mid-1900s, when the ancestor of Twitter, the telegraph emerged, many people believed that few people had enough things to communicate quickly to use this medium. Three decades later, inventor of the telegraph, Samuel Morse saw no need to buy the patent for the invention call telephone. Mr. Morse and the Western Union considered that there was little point in using a communication tool that could not keep written evidence! Who would dare make verbal agreements with no proof of conversation contents !

In 1930 in the New York Times editorial, it was clear to them that using a typewriter endangered art of handwriting, which could allow thieves to take advantage of the  edotors copyright ! Is this an argument for anti-bloggers?

With all these communicate access, exchange information in all its forms, it is difficult to predict what will be the impact on our society, but we can say without any doubt that if the past is any indication of the future, the future world of communications will be very constructive and beneficial to the entire planet.
