Question

The telephone can be a barrier to communication.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

telephones are capable of being a barrier to communication. Depending on the situation, the answer may be true or false.

Answer 2

false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The telephone is an advancement in communication technologies; as such, it is not a barrier, but an enhancer since it can allow for instant communication across the world without persons having to be face to face in order to engage in communication. However, like all forms of technologies, this is a complement to a basic human condition —that is to say, communication—, it is not a substitute for it, so it must be used responsibly and understanding its potential and its limitations.
