How does technology help people communicate better?

Technology lets people communicate instantly no matter how far apart they are.

Telephones and the internet are huge examples of this.

Technology helps translate languages so people can understand what others are saying even if they don't speak the same language.

Language learning software, automatic translation of websites are examples.

Technology lets people who would normally have no or very little means of communication communicate.

Hearing aids are an example.

But in every case, technology is the bridge that joins people or groups together so that they can converse, share ideas, and grow.
