The need to express ourselves and communicate with
others is fundamental to what it means to be human.
Communication technologies are now letting us stay
in touch and talk in more diverse ways than ever. The
emergence of new genres of communication in the last few
years has not only increased the pace of communication
but the amount of it, too. For example, messaging, texting
and ‘twittering’ are on the rise, where groups of friends,
families and colleagues keep in touch, engaging in a form
of social grooming, like birds or apes, letting each other
know on a constant basis what they are doing or have just
done. This is a far cry from the early days of discovering
one could use the answer-phone to monitor calls before
deciding whether to talk to the person at the other end.
