Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

Technology is affordable for most people, and makes communication easy and immediate. Technology makes it easy to create and maintain communities because we have such easy access to our friends, family, and acquaintances through devices like cellular or smart phones. A downfall to having this technology at our fingertips is our messages can be misinterpreted if we are not careful. Too much dependency on our cell phones can lead to Nomophobia, a fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

If we intentionally do not communicate when we know we should, we may be acting unethically.
