Sample answers

Sample answer to these questions

Technology has significantly transformed communication, making it faster and more convenient. For instance, we can now connect with anyone around the world instantly through messaging apps and social media. However, I believe it has also made communication more superficial at times, as people often prefer texting over face-to-face interactions. Additionally, the constant use of devices can lead to misunderstandings, as tone and body language are often lost in digital conversations.
