Face And Face Of Face Communication

Electronic communication plays vast roles in the way individuals communicate in today’s society, this has created a significant change to the quality of interpersonal

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.

Traditional communication channels such as face to face communication could not reach as wide audience as non-traditional channels, it is an effective channel to form a personal connection with our target

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.

When giving someone bad news you should always use face-to-face communication! Doing this shows respect to Jennifer along with ensuring there is no misunderstanding during the termination. Getting fired is not a pleasant experience therefore Jennifer might not want this information written down. When you have information to pass along to another, that is thought to be personal, it is best to keep it confidential by speaking in person with her. This could be considered a complex issue in that case you should avoid conflict and have this conversation in

Nowadays, the communications with others are different from the traditional ways and normal rules. People take advantage of new technology to communicate instead of face to face. Although the email and text message make people easy to communicate, the society

There is no doubt that technology has affected the path of communication, interaction and human relationships. A large number of communication devices like phone have been invented in order to help communication between people. Thus, by giving easier chance to be connected, this development has been encouraging society’s sense of togetherness. Advances in technology have brought people closer with the use of different communication gadgets or websites. On the other hand, it has reduced the real-world or physical interaction. Technology has both pros and cons. But, sometimes the more positive roles overshadow the negative points. Ultimately, technology has improved the communication and relationships between people.

The emergence of mobile phones over the past years, has revolutionized how younger generations communicate and develop within society. Trading face-to-face conversations for computer mediated communications; such as

The question asked by many professionals is if technology has inhibited human interact, more so looking at social interaction face to face. Society has gotten to a period where teenagers, or even young adults, have never experienced a time without technology. Todd Link, a writer for the Telegraph – Herald in Iowa, communicates in his article mainly about the effects of technology and what the older generations think in this technological era. “The older generation [is] venting frustration over the work habits, social skills and lack of face-to-face communication skills of other generations”

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.

In order for future generations and today’s youth to be better communicators, it’s important that focus is returned to more face to face communications instead of social media and texts. If the youth continue to use social media as a means to communication future generations will be less educated and will not be prepared to enter the working world.

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.

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
