Abstract

Although the advances of today’s technology are overall ironclad improvements, they are sometimes defensively regarded. In this article, we furnish evidence that communication is afflicted by its mediators. We show that changes occur when it comes to individual’s values, understanding and proneness to debate, underlining at the same time biological and physiological transformations inflicted by technological mediators. Our aim is to demonstrate that, since individuals have transmogrified from all the major standpoints which define them, their communication will also evolve. We suggest the concept of neo-communication to illustrate this evolution.
