The Influence of IT Development on Today’s Teenagers
The development of communication technology, ranging from letters, telephones, telegrams, mobile phones to smartphones, has changed human behavior in communication.
A lot of activities are carried out using communication technology. One of them is in the field of education. Students are facilitated in online learning, where they can learn with teachers or tutors virtually. This means that current communication technology has given us two ways to communicate: virtually and factually.
Virtual communication is online or ring communication that is not limited by time and space. While factual communication is done directly with the interlocutor. Both types of communication have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Virtual communication is very efficient in situations where both parties are in different places, but sometimes there are obstacles experienced during communication, such as network interference and equipment limitations.
While factual communication is also very effective because it is done directly, so that both parties understand each other better. However, this communication must pay attention to time and place.
