While non-verbal behaviors can affect many different communication styles, communicating while using technology devices affect one’s behavior more often than others; especially when communication is not being done face-to-face and computer-generated technology is being used instead. Although, this is common ground today, and computers and telecommunication are the newest trend to hit the market; sometimes the communication style chosen makes communicating impossible to fully understand the message being delivered by the sender. Thus, is because the communication being sent has not been interpreted correctly; due to unwanted communication barriers standing in the way. One of those barriers is that of “computer-mediated communication that influences virtually all behavior in the work environment; such as when

How does electronic communication affect our social behavior as a whole and our psychological development? Communication is an important part of life. We all do it in a daily basis whether it’s face-to-face or through electronics. Communicating through the internet helps us as it decreases a bit in the time that it would usually take for us to keep in touch with our loved ones. However, it also takes away from the face-to-face interaction we would have with them. One of the most popular ways that people communicate electronically is through text messaging. Just like all the other diverse ways that allows us to communicate electronically such as email, instant messaging, social media etc., text messaging affects us both positively and negatively. Actually we are affected both positively and negatively with just the ability to communicate and interact with others electronically. Electronic Communication tends to affects us socially and psychologically; Socially: in a way that it allows us to keep in touch with our loved ones, especially those who live far from us, however it distracts some of us from our priorities; Psychologically: one can be affected in a

According to Forbes, there are about 1 billion social media accounts all over the world, these accounts makes almost all of the countries of the world connected with each other.Social media is a very common in today’s modern world, social media is considered to be one of humanity’s greatest achievements and accomplishments. Never before humans were connected to each other as in today’s world. and almost everybody has a Facebook account, there are about 500 million Facebook accounts. Facebook allow its users to chat with each other, to see each other’s pictures, and to comment on any post. Which is very useful in the business and marketing world.

Social network sites (SNSs) such as such as Friendster, CyWorld, and MySpace allow individuals to present themselves, articulate their social networks, and establish or maintain connections with others (Ellison, 2007). These sites could be used for work related situation, romance, connecting with individuals with shared interest, or creating a connection amongst college students. Facebook enables its users to present themselves in an online profile, accumulate ‘‘friends’’ who can post comments on each other’s pages, and view each other’s profiles (Ellison, 2007). Individuals can write on the wall of friends, send private message, comment on posts, as well as chat via instant messaging. Much of the early research on online communities assumed that individuals using these systems would be connecting with others outside their pre-existing social group or location, liberating them to form communities around shared interests, as opposed to shared geography (Ellison, 2007).

Understanding a network that spans the globe and travels at the speed of light is a considerable undertaking. Nevertheless, the internet’s place in society is inevitably linked to progress and transformation of societies (Ronca, 2014). It has both compressed time and space and transformed the way humans communicate between each other for personal and business applications. In order to make sense of something as widely used and as complex as the internet, theories have been developed to provide some insights into how the internet influences human communications. While the modern internet landscape has seen the inescapable boom of social network and global interactions between humans, there is also a growing perspective that challenges some of more common benefits that prevail over how meaningful social exchange is taking place between individuals.

Facebook, a social networking website, has changed the way people communicate with each other. A social networking website is an online platform that allows users to create a public profile and interact with other users on the website. Facebook has even changed our most personal and private conversations and how they are conducted around the world. Since the internet’s birth in 1983, this trend of online communication has been growing. Created in 2004, now registered with more than one billion participants, Facebook’s user numbers surpass even the top four social networking websites combined. According to Wikipedia statistics, Instagram has 300 million registered users, LinkedIn has 200 million users, Classmates.com has 50 million users, and Flickr has 32 million registered users. To be further convinced of the claim that Facebook indeed changes the way we communicate, you would only need to create your own Facebook account and start participating in their social networking experience. Technology and internet usage is fused into every aspect of our society including the style of communication. The launch of Facebook in 2006 also enabled other devices such as touch phones, interactive tablets, and even advanced cars with their own networking capabilities starting in 2007. Facebook is a multibillion-dollar company and is highly recognized for connecting more people than other networks. Facebook’s long-term success can be attributed to providing entertainment, world news, and
