The Change Of The Interpersonal 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, 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

hroughout history, sociological developments such as the Industrial Revolution and Agricultural Revolution have paved the way for the creation of new and innovative advancements in the expansion of society. Today, society is subject to an all-encompassing Communication Revolution. Thanks to the plethora of technological improvements and communication technology released almost routinely, it is easier than ever before to stay in touch with people from all over the world through multiple means of communication. Perhaps one of the most prevalent sources of correspondence today is social media, particularly Facebook. In developing and maintaining friendships with others online, relationships are both strengthened and weakened by the barriers and networks formed through social media. As a result, sites like Facebook create a communication gap between those whose friendships are dependent upon social media, leaving numerous traits of the individual and the group up for debate. Most importantly, the influence of social media sites is slowly working to redefine the meaning of terms such as “community” and “friendship,” which have an overwhelming affect on an individual’s development and presentation of the Self, both online and offline. Together, these aspects of social interaction have a meaningful effect on the development of the individual and their social relationships.

Technology is about technological devices and social networking with the connection of friends or family together which allows people to communicate with them easily through Facebook. Over the last decade or so, there has been a remarkable increase in the popularity of social networking. There are many effects on society due to social networking and the other sites such as Facebook, twitter, Shyrne. The world is using these sites as a communication tool and many individuals use them for all the wrong reasons. As a result of increasing technology use, the way that people interact with others describe a Cognitive Changes and the effects in Personal relationships.

When technological advancement began so did the growth of social networking. Social networking became easier with the innovation of smartphones, by making social media more accessible than its initial phases. However, in social networking’s earliest stages social media sites were created with the purpose of helping people stay linked together despite the distance separating each other. During that time, the only means of using these networking sites were by having access to a computer. Without the easy accessibility to computers, people back then could carry on with everyday life tasks without social networking distracting us from the life around us. Despite social media not fully taking off until the booming of mobile devices, the earliest known form of social media is believed to have been created in 1995 by way of Classmates.com. Eventually being followed by networks such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest (Social Media). Unfortunately networking quickly changed in the 2010s when smartphones became more common and social media sites began to release their products as mobile applications or apps (Social Media). In this day and age in which some school-age children are gifted mobile devices almost everyone can get their hands on social media. It has become so easy to stay communicated by means of these social media apps that we are starting to forget how to interact among each other. We are moving away from face to face

With the proliferation of technologies, especially the Internet, social networking has become ubiquitous in the modern world. Social networking tools like Facebook, Twitter, etc. are the impetus that is ever facilitating rapid creation and exchange of ideas to promote and aid communication. Humans interact by being social, therefore sociology analyses the changes in the social trend. Understanding the sociological perspective on the effects of social media, we find that the social aspect has changed. Comparing the past and present status of our society, it is obvious that there has been a transformation which all points towards the evolution of social media. Social media has changed our culture and has impacted on the way people meet, interact and share ideas; it has changed the perception of how people should communicate with the society. Social interactions have been defined to be an exchange among individuals with the aim of strengthening the society. Social interaction is building block in every society when people meet and interact; they define rules, systems, and institutions in which they will live by. On the other hand, social media is known as a platform that allows people to network and socialize through applications and websites that have been innovated. Though social media could be used as a useful tool to communicate with friends, family and even with people you do not know, however, researchers show that social media is absolutely harming human's skills to have

Giving and getting feedback can be both positive and negative in which both ways can be difficult to hear. It can even be difficult to understand depending on how the feedback is being given and received. Either way giving and getting feedback can be discovered in many aspects of our daily lives and mastering this element of communication allows us to become more meaningful communicators. Through my research for this paper, I have been able to examine many variable environments in which giving and getting feedback can be found.

Since this sudden commonplace use of technology in the early 2000’s, things have continued to progress. The use of technology has still continued to grow around the world. In the UK alone over 3 billion texts are sent a week (Thomas). This amount does not include the rest of the world, but it does prove to be an interesting observation of the growth in text messaging over time. With these numbers, it has also been observed that the average person sends over 50 texts a week (Thomas). Studies are showing that most people are going out into public and sitting on their phones more than socializing with those around them (Wygant). These observations clearly show how dramatically things have changed since the time of the first text message, to now.

The first chapter, “A First Look at Interpersonal Communication”, defines what interpersonal communications is and its different modeled process. According to Martin Buber, there are three different types of communication. The first is I-It communication, in which we treat others as objects (students are referred as ID numbers), the second is I-you communication, in which we don’t fully engage with people but consider them more than objects (Salesperson asks if we need help or not). The last one is I-thou communication, in which people deeply understand each other and communicate thoroughly. According to the book, the definition of interpersonal communication is selective and systemic

Over the centuries societies social norms have changed, today's day and age is all about texting and social media, which has impacted society in many different ways. Many people debate whether such large quantity of texting and social media has a negative, positive or neutral effect on society. Some people believe that communication skills are improving, with the use of texting and social media; whereas others believe it’s limiting communication, damaging people's use of the English language, and decreasing vocabulary and social interaction.

The purpose of this paper is not to teach you, or to show you how interpersonal communication is essential to everyday life at home or work. But, I am going to do my best to at least show you how essential communication skills are in all areas of life by using me as the example. My plan is to focus on some of the elements of interpersonal communication that we have been touching on this semester. While reading our Interpersonal Communications Book, three goals kept being highlighted that I personally wanted to accomplish by the end of course. I’m sure that by now have noticed that I keep referring to my topics as goals. The reason why I’m doing so is because I’m still on that learning curve…an ongoing process. If can recall back to all

The sharing, receiving, and processing of information between two or more affiliated people, to maintain and enhance relationships (Beebe, Beebe & Redmond 2014).

Interpersonal communication theories are interesting and compelling to read. They are astonishingly relatable to one’s everyday life. As one reads an interpersonal communication theory, he or she may find himself or herself thinking of instances in daily life and relationships that directly correspond with the theory. I found the theories to be eerily similar to how many people behave, communicate, and think with regards to interacting with one another. Interpersonal communication theories describe the communication between two or more individuals through verbal, non verbal, and written communication. I believe the theories are some of the easiest to comprehend perhaps due to the direct correlation with people’s lives. Through my own

ii. However, for many of us, 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

In the world we live in today, people have the opportunity to interact with one another due to the advancement in technology. For many years people relied on the traditional ways of communications, for example pay phones, send letters, a house phone, in person and they even used web cam’s. Presently, people rely on modern day methods of communication such as sending text messages, emails or even messaging via social. The development of the internet has made it so much easier for people to communicate that Social Media has become the place where people interact more than ever in a mere second.
