The correct question to represent the social issue is: Does technology help or hinder meaningful communication?

Explanation:

In the first place, we can observe that Alex is the main male character in this story. In second place we understand that he is far away from his wife and daughter. In third place, we comprehend that he is trying to get close to them. But in fourth place we discover that he has an indirect way of communicating to them because of the distance separating them, thus he tries to reach them out however the lack of clarity in the spelling doesn't let us know what he actually did. So, the problem here is not the effect of technology and music industry, it isn't also texting while doing other activities, because the text doesn't even take that approach. But, the text lights the spelling and grammar in communication. however spelling and grammar are norms of a communication system, therefore the text is about the way technology can help or hinder meaningful communication because if that smartphone had a grammar app to make the user modify his horrifying spelling, he would have delivered his message to them. So even though he had bad spelling and grammar, the text isn't about the way he writes but the ability of technology to help us deliver our message.

He didn't institute a new tax system, he focused on nationalizing the industries.
