Technology is a big part of people’s lives. They use it every day in almost everything they do. It helps them a lot, and it makes their lives easier as they can do things and reach others with a single click. One of the most common technologies that people use is communication technology. Unlike before, people do not have to wait for days for their mail to arrive and do not have to travel a long way just to meet and talk to others.
