I think that it is approachable to students because they can see how it is actually applicable in real life. The students get to see examples of how communication has and is being affected by computers. It will also be good for them to take a closer look at social media and really talk about the risks that are involved. They will need to learn to be responsible using computers as a communication tool.
I will have each student keep track of how many times they use computers (phones, social media, email, etc.) to communicate in a week and have them record the data and then present their findings. Hopefully it will open their eyes to how much communication happens through computers.
