ICT communication disadvantages

The improvements that technology have created in regards to communication have created problems as well as benefits.
The main disadvantage is that these methods of communication can be very distracting. The main example of this is that a lot of people use their mobiles while driving. Although this is illegal, a lot of people ignore this rule. Using a phone while driving is very distracting and can lead to the driver not paying attention while on the road. This means that there is a greater risk of accidents and crashes happening which can be fatal.
Trinity Taylor, 23, died in 2005 after a lorry driver hit her car. The lorry driver in question was talking on his mobile at the time of the accident. The driver was jailed for 4 years.

Another concern with the use of technology for communication is that it can result in people finding it harder to talk to people in real life and losing their social skills. This is because people talk a lot online using instant messaging services.On instant messaging services people use abbreviations and ... for phrases. Some examples of these abbreviations are "LOL"(laugh out loud) and "GTG" (got to go). Although this can make people more sociable online it can cause them to have social difficulties when speaking to some-one in person. This can cause a problem because online communication does not convey nearly as much meaning as face to face communication. Only 5% of what people say is said in words. The rest of the meaning is conveyed either in the tone of voice a person is using or their body language. Instant messaging, text and email can not convey tone or body language. A phone call can convey tone of voice but not body language. Only video-calls can convey both tone and body-language, but video calls are not very common.
