How Communication is Changing with Technology and AI

How Communication is Changing with Technology and AI

By Marshall ThurlowPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

In a world that is more connected than ever before, it's no surprise that the way we communicate is changing. With new technology and artificial intelligence, the way we interact with each other is always evolving. Here's a look at how communication is changing with technology and AI.

Technology is Making Us More Connected Than Ever Before

It's hard to remember a time when we didn't have constant access to the internet and our devices. Wherever we go, we have the ability to connect with others instantly. Whether it's through social media, text messaging, or video calls, we can connect with anyone in the world at any time.

This instant connection has changed the way we communicate. We're able to share our thoughts and feelings with others without having to be in the same room. We can have conversations with people who are half a world away. And, we can do all of this from the palm of our hand.

We're Relying on Technology to Communicate More Than Ever Before

With all of this constant connection, it's no wonder that we're relying on technology to communicate more than ever before. In fact, research shows that we're spending more time online than ever before.

In 2022, Australians are now spending an average of 6 hours and 13 minutes online every day. That number has only increased in recent years as our reliance on technology has grown. And, it's not just adults who are spending more time online; kids are too. The average child spends 7 hours per day using screens for entertainment.

As our reliance on technology grows, so does the amount of time we spend communicating through screens rather than face-to-face.

Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Way We Communicate

As artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, it's also changing the way we communicate.

AI is being used in a variety of ways to improve communication. For example, AI is being used to develop translation services that can interpret different languages in real time. This is helpful for people who need to communicate across language barriers.

AI is also being used to develop chatbots that can hold conversations with people. These chatbots are being used by businesses to provide customer service and support.

As AI continues to evolve, so will the way we communicate with each other.

The Way We Communicate Has Forever Changed

Voice calls are no longer the primary method of communication, with text, social media, and even video calls taking over. This shift is being driven by two main factors: fixed wireless and the National Broadband Network (NBN).

Fixed wireless is a form of broadband communication that uses radio signals instead of traditional copper or fibre optic cables. This type of technology is now extremely popular due to its reliability and speeds that are on par with fibre optic broadband. In fact, many rural areas are now turning to fixed wireless as an alternative to traditional broadband, as it does not require the same infrastructure investment.

With the rollout of the NBN almost complete, Australia's ageing copper network has been replaced with a new fibre optic network, connecting millions of homes and businesses — thanks to providers like NodeOne.

The NBN offers speeds that are significantly faster than copper broadband, making it ideal for applications that require large amounts of data such as video streaming and online gaming.

Summary

The way we communicate is constantly changing and evolving thanks to new technology and artificial intelligence. We're now more connected than ever before and rely heavily on technology to communicate.

As AI continues to develop, so will the way we interact with each other change too. This shift in communication is therefore likely to exist for many years to come.
