Abstract
This study discusses the impacts technology has had on social behavior. The change in
communication mediums is addressed. Although face-to-face communication has decreased,
technology has provided opportunities for aiding in communication. The video game and the
Internet community are investigated for their positive and negative traits, but also for the
information the new Internet culture can provide for us. Internet “trolls” can give us information
on dealing with bullies, and social media websites make it clear that today’s youth may need to
be educated on the appropriate use of communication technology.
