Here's a possible sample for your essay on 3 modern technology devices that changed communication:
The smartphone, laptop computer, and social media have all revolutionized how we connect and interact with one another over the past 20 years.
The smartphone is definitely the most ubiquitous communication device nowadays. Almost everyone has one and they're constantly glued to the screen sending messages, posting to socials, watching videos, etc. You can literally talk to someone anywhere in the world now just by tapping some buttons. It's crazy how little we used phones just for calls back in the day. Now it's like our third hand we never put down!
Another big one is laptop computers. Sure, desktops were around for a while before laptops, but being able to take all your internet and stuff anywhere changed the game. No more being stuck at home to message friends or do research - you can work from coffee shops, parks, even your bed now. And it's not just for work - gaming, streaming shows, video calling your buds from anywhere opened up a whole new world of portable connectivity.
And the third major thing has gotta be social media platforms. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok - they literally connect billions of people every single day. You used to have to call or physically see your friends to stay in touch or share stuff. Now you can update your whole crew instantly on your daily life or broadcast whatever you want to thousands with one post. And with things like live streams and direct messaging, socials have basically become our new ways of hanging out and communicating digitally.
Those are my three picks for devices that totally changed how we connect over the last couple decades. Let me know if any part of the sample helps give you ideas for your own essay!
