This game will be played to demonstrate how information can be
misinterpreted as it comes across different people.
Do you think information is misinterpreted because we are
used to communicating through technology rather than
face-to-face?

Conclusion
Even though technology has some benefits, face-to-face
communication has been scientifically proven as a better way
of socializing and developing a relationship with society, due
to the fact that messages can not be misinterpreted,
stereotypes can not be made, and one can not get catfished.
What this
project taught
me
I learned how much I rely on technology in the world today. It amazes
me how much society has changed throughout the years. One thing I
will take from this project is taking the step to interact with others more
face-to-face.
-Jaylaan Bennett
I learned that we as a whole generation need to set the technology
and social media aside for the sake of a more people to people
interaction in the future. -Sarah Melendez
Our generation has allowed technology to replace the people we
surround ourselves with. We need to spend time together and learn
things about each other that we cant learn from an Instagram bio.
-Jasmine Johnson
The biggest
communication problem
is we do not listen to
understand.
We listen to respond.
