Face And Face Of Face Communication

With the advent of computers and related technologies of communication, the nature of communication has changed drastically. There are some positive highlights to this change as well as negative highlights to this change based on my experience. In my younger years, the only form of communication was one on one communication or writing through snail mail. However, this is not the case today. Today, I make use of emails, social media, and other chatting forums to communicate both professionally and personally to family, friends, and relatives. I have found this change to have its advantages as well as disadvantages. In this paper, I will discuss how computer-mediated communication has aided my communication as well as how it compares to the type of communication that was available during my younger years. In addition, I will give a comparison between computer-mediated communication and person-to-person communication.

Nowadays, children are glued to their computer screens, ignoring physical activities and spending time with their families. This not only deteriorates their health but also the bond among the family members .Secondly, the use of technology at workplace in the form of e-mails, cell phones , texts kills inter-personal relationships among employees . As described in the article, “Why Gen-Y Johnny Can’t Read Non-Verbal Cues,” “With a device close by, attendees at workplace meetings simply cannot keep their focus on the speaker. It’s too easy to check e-mails, stock quotes and Facebook. While a quick log-on may seem, to the user, a harmless break, others in the room receive it as a silent dismissal. It announces: ‘I’m not interested’” (Bauerlein 145). People are under the impression that sending text messages or e-mails makes them closer to their loved ones.

Texting and Direct Messaging through social media sites have provided a chance for people separated by large distances to communicate with one another without the hassle of a telephone, or if their on the go. Phone calls, while seemingly archaic, still allow those of us who still use them to hear the voices of our loved ones and connect one another more personally. Emails and fax machines allow us to communicate with our business partners more formally, and websites such as Skype or Google Hangouts give us an opportunity to see our friends and family "face-to-face" through video chats. One can also communicate with friends and loved ones indirectly through social media as well. You may not want to have a conversation at the moment, but probably want to see what your friend is up to. Facebook has been the harbinger of rekindled high school friendships and deepened relationships with acquaintances, and allows us to "communicate...with...friends, family, and coworkers(Essay 2)." LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter also serve a similar purpose with different interfaces.

First of all, communication has changed in the past 20 years because of the invention of the cell phone. People can now call anywhere in just a few minutes. Before cell phones, people used landlines to talk to each other. For that, they had to be at home. Furthermore, texting has become a norm in society today. In the past, people had to send letters and wait weeks for a reply, but life has become so easy with texting. Like texting, social media apps like Facebook and Twitter make it easy to share people's lives with others. Previously, people had to meet up and tell each other about what they did. In the last few decades, cell phones have been a major part of the change in communication.

There is a transformation happening today that is completely changing the way that we do things. The ways that we are communicating are shifting from face to face interactions to short, interactive messages. Technology seems to be making it easier to stay connected, but it is restricting our interactions with others and leading to isolation.

Face-to-face communication seems to be a dying art – replaced by text messaging, e-mails, and social media. Human communication and interactions are shaped by available technologies.

Since the beginning of the time, the most important method of communication has been the face to face communication (1). In fact, for a long time, face-to-face communication was the only method ever used. As the time passed many new methods came along with the use of letters, telephone calls, and emails. Even though with the improvements in such type communication, nothing like other types of communication has been able to change or replace the face-to-face method. Face to face is better than any other types of communication because it allows one person to see the facial expressions of another, you can tell whether if the person is telling the truth or not and it allows one person to express his/her feelings towards the person.

Another thing that is offered by face to face communication is that it offers something when information is received and understood, without delay, something electronic forms of communication cannot offer. Face to face communication also offers the opportunity to take turns when speaking and in turn create a sequence whereas with electronic communications, such as emails or texts, the conversation can be broken up by irrelevant interruptions and do not have the same effect. However Clark & Brennan, (1990) did look at how electronic communication can also be a more effective form of communication. For example with emails and texts information will always be there and can be later reviewed by other people in case there needs to be editing of information before sending. Face to face communication can possibly be irreplaceable as well. Hallowell, (1999) looked at how face to face communication is essential for human movement, an authentic psychological encounter that occurs when two people share the same physical space as well as emotional and intellectual attention. However on the other hand face to face communication can be disruptive and costly, and other forms of communication might be preferable. Sproull and Kiesler, (1992) found that technological changes can help people cross social, psychological and physical boundaries and can effect group behaviour and decision

Importance of communication by face-to-face is declining in today’s digital era as one can live about a whole day without interacting with people. Now days, people depend highly on the facilities of text messages, emails, and social media. As long as it is impossible to reject the role of these facilities and the method that they have changed communication, so it is necessary to balance these online communications with face-to-face communication.

As of today I can truly say that most youth and young adults are lacking in social communication skills. We have lost the art of letter writing, face to face interaction, even phone conversations lack in social etiquette. However, the most important of these loses is the face to face communication, without it we will be lost in a world of Tweets, Instagram’s and Facebook.
