Interpersonal Communication in the Age of Digital Technology

Abstract

The advent of digital technology has transformed interpersonal communication, reshaping the ways individuals connect, interact, and build relationships. This article examines the impact of digital platforms on communication dynamics, emphasizing the shift from traditional face-to-face interactions to online exchanges. By exploring both the advantages and challenges posed by digital communication, including issues of authenticity, emotional expression, and social isolation, this study provides a comprehensive overview of how technology influences interpersonal relationships. The findings suggest that while digital communication offers unprecedented connectivity, it also necessitates a revaluation of communication strategies to foster meaningful interactions in an increasingly virtual world.
