Wild Card Paper: Online Communication Is Changing Everything

Image
 Let’s face it most of us talk more through a screen than face-to-face these days. Whether it’s texting your roommate from across the room, sliding into someone’s DMs, or posting TikToks that express feelings you don’t want to say out loud, internet communication has completely changed how we connect with each other. But is that a good thing or a bad thing? The truth is, it's both online communication is weird, wonderful, and occasionally worrying. And honestly, we’ve only just started to understand how deep this digital rabbit hole goes.

The future of Internet communication is changing rapidly, and it’s exciting to think about how it will affect the way we interact with each other in both our personal and professional lives.

However, both local and global efforts are being made to identify, publicize, and reduce these breaches. But as new and smarter types of cyberattacks emerge, like intelligent malware and malicious chatbots, there is a constant need to improve how we protect our data. Many countries, including the United States, have introduced laws to help fight data breaches and improve cybersecurity. For example, in the U.S., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ensures that health-related data is protected.
