The negative effect regarding the use of digital technology is: "There is less collective messaging, so messages can be distorted and twisted, leading to lies."
This response highlights how the proliferation of digital technology can fragment communication channels. As individuals consume information from various digital sources, the lack of a unified message can cause misinterpretations or erroneous representations of facts. This misinformation can spread rapidly through social media and other platforms, making it increasingly difficult for people to discern truth from falsehood, ultimately leading to a more polarized and misinformed society.
