Electronic Communication : Communication, And Where The People Have Some Level Of Actual Human Exchange

Throughout the years people have been given the privilege of interpersonal communication in many forms, such as letters, emails, texts, and social media. Letters were one of the very first mediums people used to communicate, and as the years went by technology improved, and emails were created. Emails served as a faster alternative for people in a business to contact someone else. Following that was the idea of text messaging, not only was it time efficient but also easier. That wasn’t the only thing connecting people all around the world though. Social media wasn’t the most popular to begin with, but as time went by, and it became more personal, people began to take a very big interest in it. Letters, emails, texts, and social media play

On the contrary, social media is known as the utmost ways to communicate with others through precise emotional signs. The online communication takes various signals away. For example one of the signals is, over the phone, one can hear the change in a person’s tone, or the ominous/menacing pause that sends a message for one to back off. But, the jokes and snide comments aren’t the only problem, there is also a hostile behavior. An incident, was when Devon, a thirteen year old, asserted that a friend would claim that she spread out rumors about him. Devon even claimed that the boy is a quiet adolescent, but throughout the posts he would express himself by capitalize letters and punctuated by endless exclamation marks, the young teenager claimed she felt as in her friend was screaming in her face. Sometimes kids act differently on behind the screen meaning when being on a social website such as Facebook because they feel more secure to behave like that on a computer and not in person. One feels the powerful behind the computer screen and do not realize the actions they make towards the other

There are many risks that come with excessive social media use. One of which is its effects on important social skills children need in their futures. Texting, Social Media messaging, and even phone calls erode on a child's communication and can harm their relationships with their peers. One way they do this is by reducing the intimacy when communicating. Without a person's face and voice, conversations with them over various Social Media makes the conversation less important and may drive the two people apart. The quality of conversations also plummets as long, descriptive sentences are a taboo when instant messaging. The use of shorter, compact words and text slang may limit the child in how they are able to express themselves later in their life. Finally, Social Media prevents children from practicing empathy. Missing facial expressions, voices, and body language limit the use of this important skill and may keep a child from noticing when a peer or loved one is distressed. A study done by UCLA Scientists took two groups of sixth graders,

In today’s society it would appear that we are communicating more as time passes with the addition to social media into individual lives. With applications such as Twitter, YouTube, and Face book, people are able to communicate with people around the world almost instantly as well as see the things that are being experienced in other countries. However, even though this has somehow made the world seem a bit smaller, communication has not gotten better. Miscommunication is actually now more readily noticeable because of the amount of social media that is available. We begin to see the societal and cultural factors that lead to misunderstandings

People now use their phone and or computer to communicate to others and interact with people. The author describes that, ¨So much socializing takes place online, and almost always includes text.¨ Most of the socializing online happens mostly in texts, but also instagram, twitter, snapchat, and more. Which all include some sort of writing. Because we use online to communicate so much it's way easier and faster to send a message to someone instead of having to call them or tell them in person. The downside of this is some people abuse the internet by sending mean things and they use media to bully people. In my opinion, people talk to each other online more than in person.

This article response paper is a reflection of Susan Tardanico’s article, “Is Social Media Sabotaging Communication?” Consequently, technology expansion is causing families to forfeit quality intervals together for the indulgence of their electronic contraptions. Additionally, social media, advanced technology, and the need to fit in seem to be consuming people’s lives. Communication is such an important means of transmitting information, however has become “foreign” to this new generation of young adults.

Every year technology becomes more complex and unforgiving. If one was to post something on social media, it is forever on the internet. Many people post things that they later regret. Words hurt people’s feelings and it can cause disputes, stereotypes, racism, and other negative feelings and behaviors toward individuals.

Social media has drastically changed how people communicate. How many people remember how it feels to hear the phone ring in the house or receive a letter in the mail? Today’s youth know nothing other than text messages, tweets, and Facebook. Social media and the social entertaining websites of today have affected social behavior in many ways. While there are many advantages to this technological advancement, these advancements can also result in many changes in social behaviors. Some of the few prominent changes in social behavior, due to social media, are lack of communication skills, changes in self-esteem and cyber

Why was the message that was sent to me in all caps? Is that a way of showing anger? Many get emails or texts or any forms of messages through electronic communication and have no idea what the message is saying or how their tone of voice is. Many have kids who just started using communication or haven’t started at all, and are wondering what to teach their kids about communication. The best solution to this problem is to teach using face to face communication. In the old days, talking face to face was the way to go. They would walk or drive somewhere and meet up just to have a conversation. Now a day we rely on electronics. Even though sending emails is easy, talking face to face helps understand people in a more formal manner. Are these

Although it may be true that today's technology are people's main source to get through life, becoming an essential thing, yet, it has driven our lives out of the world, that we should experience. According to the article “I’m not LMAO at Ridiculous Email from my Students”, written by anonymous, it argues that young adolescents are communicating to people they don’t know personally, such as their professor, in a non-formal way. The minds of adolescents force them to think that technology has given a way to have any communication they prefer, when that is false. All communication is different, but all must have respect for each other, and some reason technology itself makes people to interact in whichever way.

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

Digital etiquette is a modern variation of the old adage “treat others the way you want to be treated” (Behrens, n.d.) . This is an important yet difficult lesson to teach children in the digital age because they spend less time participating in face-to-face encounters and more time behind a screen. In fact children ages 8-18 spend approximately 7.5 hours using technology and social media (New Research, 2014). What makes this lesson so difficult is the fact that because children spend so much time behind a screen interacting with people, they spend less time reading people’s emotions and seeing how their words affect other people. In fact, many adults struggle to come to this realization as well. Based on my own personal experience on social media, many adults still react to situations they come across online emotionally and do not necessarily think about what they are posting and how their words affect the people that are reading them. This is evident with the amount of arguments that occur mostly in the comment section on social media. In fact, social media is an excellent source of poor digital etiquette with all of the fights, swearing, and belittling of others that occurs on these platforms (Digital Etiquette, 2008). This is largely because of the misinterpretations that can happen when communicating digitally verses communicating face to face. It is difficult to interpret the context from which someone is speaking. It is essential that adults slow down with their

We as humans have always used communication to represent our beliefs, our people and ourselves. This has been a constant throughout history but the means of communicating has drastically changed as well as the purpose of technology. With the increasing presence of technology and its importance in our lives, it is evident that people are becoming even more vocal on their various social media accounts. This increase of technology use has also provided a new purpose of communication. Technology is not just used to communicate with others across the world or even look up information on your phone: people can now voice their opinions and

The communication path as a culture and society had led us to new methods of how people communicate daily. In today’s world, everyone is dealing with communication, whether it be done through texting, online, telephone or face to face. Technology has become such an influential aspect of our lives that many people depend on it. Although technology has helped improve communication, it has lowered our understanding of how words and pictures actually make a person feel. People around the world interact less directly because of social networking sites. I mainly use texting and online communication as part of an everyday interaction.

Social media is having a huge breakthrough when it comes to conversing as many people would say is easier. With a great deal of face-to-face communication vanishing away, people are now attempting to shape relationships and make decisions based on phrases and “emojis”, which may or may not be accurate representations of the truth. New technology and social media sites are increasing a great deal, creating less time for real-life interactions. There is no doubt that as each year passes by the reality of face-to-face and verbal communication will continue to decrease and possibly even become unnecessary. Therefore, there are distinguishing factors that differentiate the pro’s and con’s of online and face-to-face conversations.
