Topic for research paper

I was going to chose my topic based on the nursing field but i want to do something that i have been interested in knowing more about. I'm going to do the research on technology and the influence it has on communication. communicating with others is something we never even have to think twice about doing it just comes natural. But what if there were no cell phones or computers, would we be able to survive? Technology has become such a huge way we communicate to people and without it where would we be in this world. I plan to analyze how over years and years communication has changed not only the way we speak but how we “talk” to others via text message and emails. I plan to show the differences between now and then on how people talked to one another. Do you think there is  a difference between sitting behind a screen and typing words to someone or actually saying those words to someone in person. Which leads me to think is technology actually helping us with our communication skills or is it in reality destroying us and making it even harder for people to communicate to others in public. My goal for this project and is find out what has caused the way we talk to others to change within the last hundreds of years. Not only the way we talk to each other but all the different languages there are out there for people to communicate. Technology is able to also identify all the different languages when either using the computer or cell phone. But imagine if we were all cut off from technology. No computers, cell phones, ipads, ipods or anything that we could use to communicate with one another. What would we do with ourselves? Have to rely on sending a letter to someone to talk to them,which is exactly what people used to do. I want to analyze all the different ways we communicated up till now. It’s amazing to think throughout the time period of twenty years I’ve been alive how many different ways and stages we have gone through to get to where we are now with communicating.
