What is the formal definition for communication? Communication is the imparting or exchanging of information or news. Do you think technology has impacted our communication skills? This is my opinion of the subject, technology has positively impacted the way we communicate. With the help of technology we are able to communicate with others face to face or by other means. This helps when you're not able to communicate in person. Technology has made our communication skills better by allowing us share our thoughts, and get an immediate response.
