Although, this is common ground today, and computers and telecommunication are the newest trend to hit the market; sometimes the communication style chosen makes communicating impossible to fully understand the message being delivered by the sender. Thus, is because the communication being sent has not been interpreted correctly; due to unwanted communication barriers standing in the way. One of those barriers is that of “computer-mediated communication that influences virtually all behavior in the work environment; such as when
