Neither inherently good nor evil, electronic communication platforms are 100 percent dependent on user input.

About This Quote

In the past, writing letters to each other was an effective way to communicate. However, today, things have changed. The advent of electronic communication has provided a new way to keep in touch. This new system is far more convenient and efficient than the old ways of communicating, but it may also be a bit too much like a modern day form of slavery.

The problem with this kind of technology is that it allows the user to be the master rather than the servant. Applying this idea to electronic communication platforms such as Facebook and Twitter can allow us to put limits on how much we give up our privacy and how much we let someone else take control over us.
