psychological+consequences+of+constant+communication

Thanks to modern day technology in combination with the internet, we can now be in constant communication with anyone on the planet using cellphones, laptops, smart phones and video conferencing set ups. We communicate through voice chat, video chat, texting and Instant messaging.

There are serious psychological consequences with being in constant communication with each other such as:


 * The privacy of the individual; the idea that no matter where you go you can be found and reached removes the sense of solitude and privacy which most people want and need.
 * Lack of human contact; Despite the fact that we are in constant communication with each other we may find that the actual amount of time we spend in actual face-to-face interaction is actually quite little, this is because psychologically we have fooled ourselves into thinking that phone or text communication is just like the real thing when in reality it is not.
