Communication
Technology has changed the way we communicate, before the information age, people used to communicate by letters on paper which took approximately 3 days to arrive at the persons house you was sending the letter to. Sending letters also costs money and can be a lot of effort if you live far away from the post office if you lived in an isolated area. Now it takes less than five seconds to send a message to someone using a phone or social networks.
