Has technology improved or diminished human communication and interaction?

Does technology have a positive or negative effect on human interaction? There aren two sides we need to think about for this argument, the first is if technology helps us communicate to each other. the secon is about a single word in the prompt, "Human". Human communication is different that just communication,  communication is simply a transfer of data, human communication is the transfer of emotion, feelings, and soul. that is somthing that our current technology does not accel at and in fact henders us when the time comes to use it. 
So once you really think about it despite technology's ability to communicate with more people faster, more effenient, and over longer distances. It has crippled our ability to actully talk with one another.

Should the government spy on the online activity of it's citizens?

No! The government has rules that it needs to follow, rules put in place to prevent it from gaining too much power. One of these rules is called The Fourth Ammendment, it states: "The right of the people to be secure... against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause..." (an abrviated version of the fourth ammendmant of the constitution) Filtering through it's entire citizens web history is not in line with respecting our right to be secure against serches with out probable cause and a specific warrent for what there looking for. When the government posseses the ability to search through our personal lives and our data we hold on the internet, that is an infringement on our personal privacy and on the constitution.
The government has no right to infringe upon the constitution and especially not upon the liberties of its citizens.

How would your world be different without verbal language?

Without verbal communication life would still go on, just differently. We could still see how people feel, almost better than when we could talk. Language berriers would be non-existant which would make international relations far eaisier. However communication when it came to details, analysis, and technical materials would become vastly more difficult. Picture trying to read an instruction manual for a lawn mower, it could show a diagram of wht happens if you get you foot chopped up by the blades, but it couldn't tell you how to replace the oil. On the subject of reading, books would not exist, atleast not how when know them today. Books would have to consist of pictures, diagrams, and gists of emotion, that would make great complicated works of fiction useless and confusing.
The world in order to function in a modern, man to machine format would not exist, however when dealing with each other on a basic feelings level much more effecient and personal.
