1. 1.- Going back in time lets us see how people used to communicate in contrast to nowadays. It is undeniable that the reasons why human beings communicate remain the same (to share news, contact friends, do business, send warnings and so   forth), but the ways they do so are different. While in the past people used to send smoke signals, word of mouth messages, pigeon post, or letters and cards, today most people send e-mails, make calls on their cell phones, send text messages, chat online, or use Twitter to communicate.	2- When using old methods of communication, messages took a long time to both be sent and replied. However, with modern communication the message is received immediately, without having to wait too long for the answer. This means that today we enjoy instant communication, even with friends, relatives or colleagues who live in different towns, cities and countries.
2. 3.- Inventions in communication have changed the way people socialize. Long ago, people used to meet for a coffee, stop by friends’ houses or pick up the phone and call, but modern communication has decreased face-to-face interaction, which some people think damages relationships. So, while some think that socializing online may be positive, others consider this change negative.	4.- Technology has contributed to the development of communication, which has become incorporated into daily life. In fact, online communication has been created to facilitate communication. Although in the past, it was difficult to transmit news and messages because of a lack of technology in distant regions, nowadays technology is more widely available and has been incorporated into people’s daily lives. People can use it everywhere and find it hard to imagine their lives without it.
3. 5.5.- Communication has been one of the greatest achievements of humankind. Its evolution over time, the speed at which it works, the influence of technology in it, and its impact on human interaction have made communication possible for billions of people around the world that used to be out of touch!
