Individual Communications

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.

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

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

People from different backgrounds may use and/or interpret communication methods in different ways because every family has their own way of communicating together. For example: some children might hear or speak more than one language at home or they could hear others swearing. This can affect children’s communication and how they communicate as adults.

How has technology changed the communication process? Has technology changed the way people communicate in business?

Emphasizing clarity in workplace communication also means limiting the amount of technological interference. Even though technology is making it easier and easier to communicate with co-workers without actually seeing them, face-to-face communication is still the most important factor in fostering long-term friendships among those co-workers, (Sias, 2012).

Possible difficulties with this new trend of communication are technical issues within the company. We are relying on internet capabilities in order to connect us, and internet capability is not always reliable. Social media is fairly new territory for employers and employees, questions still exist about how these tools can be used in the workplace

Nowadays, the revolution of the internet and the social media changed patterns of social relations and it is very rare to notice face to face interaction between individuals as we used in the past. Unfortunately, even at home, when a family is eating dinner, or waiting for a family guest, everyone is staring at a small screen device connected to the internet, posting a comment, sharing a picture, taking a snapshot, Etc. No one can deny that the revolution of the internet and the massive use of social media have transformed the way people used to communicate with each other in everyday life.

We are living in an era of constant change. Because businesses are becoming less dictatorial and more social, the understanding and value of communication are growing daily. We must consider the little things often underrated because they are small; the fine points on how to communicate and interact with others on a professional level, regardless of our position or occupation.

Communication is evolving quickly, offering us more options than ever before. Cellphone calls, texting via short messaging (SMS), Skype, teleconferencing, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and face-to-face communication all play a major role in how people communicate with others around the world. Despite how I may fee, face-to-face communication is the best way to communicate with people because a lot of things won’t get taken out of context and their won’t be any misunderstanding.

Office workers and businesses are not limited to phone calls, meetings or mail to communicate with each other anymore. Electronic email can be used and not interrupt the recipient. The

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.

With the population growing and our network expanding rapidly throughout the world, electronic communication has benefited people immensely. It gives them the privilege to share and connect globally with anyone, like distance family members, friends and work colleagues through various social networking websites such as Twitter, Flickr, Google+ and Facebook. An interpersonal communication technique such as visual communication is used regularly in these websites. Being able to see your social group’s latest photos and video which are updated daily, lets you feel more connected to people you don’t see in person often. (Sless 1987:187) Another form of visual communication is through visual aids to convey ideas and information in ways that can be read orlooked upon. It includes signs, typography, drawings, graphic design and electronic resources. It aims to communicate through personal perspective. If the viewer has an opinion about an image purely based on their personal thoughts they respond differently in their thoughts and values as someone else might.
