Also e-mails, text messages, social networks, chat rooms can be fully human forms of communication. It is not the technology that determines whether communication is authentic or not, but the human heart and its ability to make good use of the means at its disposal.

The digital environment is a square, a meeting place where one can express cordiality or inflict wounds, engage in a useful discussion or make a moral lynching. (...) Communication, its venues and its tools have led to expanded horizons for many people. It is a gift from God, as well as a great responsibility. Pope Francis, Message for the 50th Media Day
