The Importance Of Electronic Communication

Technology has been a large part of American culture for the last 200 years and continues to grow more each year. This has made a large impact on our everyday lives and how we interact with one another. The U.S. alone sends over 6 billion texts each day! (Textrequest). This takes away quality time engaging with friends and family. Phones and other devices have taken over our way of communicating, thus affecting our relationships with others.

Cell phones and the computers are similar to each other in many different ways. One of the most common similarities is the internet aspect. With everyone connected to the internet, the adverse effects can spread throughout like a virus. “A Nielsen study released in 2010 indicated that texting was the primary reason for purchasing mobile phones and that text communication had become a "’centerpiece of mobile teen behavior.’" The modern smartphone of the 2010s is a powerful computing device, and the rapid and ongoing development of new applications provides users with a growing number of ways to use mobile phones for recreation, productivity, and social communication” (Issitt 2016). In the following Issitt states, “however, as smartphones have become more common, concerns about the detrimental effects of smartphone use have also increased.” (Issitt 2016). Issitt expresses the large growth of people with smartphones has its positives and negatives. The positives being the ability to communicate, but the negative being the effects on relationships with one another. An example of the negative side of things is the lack of interaction with people. People are more likely to call or text instead of interacting with one another. The lack of interaction can ruin relationships, or make people feel unwanted. In the article “Eurasian Journal of Educational Research,” the writer states that the internet, “can transform into an addictive instrument in excessive usage situations.” (Gunduz 2017). The statement explains the issue of the unnecessary use of the internet as a growing addictive process that is taking over more and more

There is an ongoing curiosity about why electronic devices are so irresistible. It is flabbergasting and utterly disappointing that people of all ages, including hypocritical parents lecturing teens about their texting addiction, “would prefer to communicate over text rather than meeting face to face”(mobile commons). Although technology has its benefits of quick communication and always staying in touch with others, the amount of common sense lost to technology has a stronger and more detrimental effect on one 's future. As people become more dependent on the technology that sits in the palms of their hands, the social skills one

I am constantly on my phone almost every second of everyday; texting friends, scrolling through Instagram, tweeting, or sending ugly snapchats of myself. All behind a screen, I felt connected to my friends, my followers, and the world. However, I was actually slowly losing my grasp on reality as I indulged myself in the world of social medias. Reality hit when parents came to Wellness Committee with concerns about their children’s overwhelming use of technology. As the Director of the Wellness Committee, this issue became my focus because I realized that constantly being on technology was unhealthy. It was also affecting the connections I made with people in real life; I was always too busy on my phone to make conversation with the those around me. I wanted my peers to be aware of this and to encourage them to disconnect from technology and connect with the real world. Therefore, I organized an informative community block and a no-technology lunch with the Chair of the Wellness Committee.

Technology has become very important, “...more than one thousand children between the ages of 4 and 18 find out how technology was impacting their relationships and their social and emotional lives” (Catherine Steiner-Adair EdD). Technology is advancing rapidly every single day, in hopes to make our society adapt better to a technology based future. Communication is the biggest factor that plays into our everyday jobs. Communicating verbally versus electronically both have the same intentions. This is to speak clearly, and say what needs to be said, relying strongly on reactions. Does this affect our society, when people rely more on electronic forms of communication, when they know miscommunications can be cleared just as fast verbally? The question stands for our society as a whole. If people rely vastly on electronic communication more everyday, does this change the way people communicate verbally? The answer is yes, electronic communication affects more people, than verbal communication does.

In today’s society, people view the world through the very handheld electronic devices in their pockets, rather than going outside and experiencing life for themselves. They use their phones to communicate, share their everyday experiences, connect with their family, friends and loved ones. whether it may be from the other side of the world, or just the room. Cell phones have revolutionized the way humans communicate and socialize, ever since the first cell phone to hit the market in 1973 by John F. Mitchell. As much as cell phones are helpful and convenient, they have changed the world dramatically. This seem like an extreme claim to make, but evidence shows that cell phones have made the world a little more difficult. They have caused many problems such as fatal car accidents due to distracted drivers on the road, as well as sexting and revenge porn, which leads to a form of cyberbullying. Even cell phones themselves are harming their overall health, their social interaction, and even teen literacy. People may not have a solution to these problems but they need to find

This addictive way to communicate has many problems. For example, the possibility that in a near future people won’t be able to communicate face-to-face, like now is done. This is because young people don’t call each other anymore. Instead they write a message on Facebook, or send a text message via their cell phone (Stout, 2010). A big worry

Technology has become a great benefit to us but many people have taken it too far. According to researcher and surveys taken all over the world shows that a large number of people may have become addicted to their technological devices and are not able to make it through a day without their cell phones or other technological devices. Many have concerns that people would rather use these devices than to have a face to face conversation. The addictions of technological devices are on the rise. Although these devices were meant to make our lives easier there have been many problems to arise ranging from health risk, relationship problems, classroom, church, and work interferences. Statistics show that cell

Technology has taken over society. “The digital world is also beginning to penetrate the physical world, as more and more activities are consigned to and performed by means of digital resources. We learn, work, entertain, and stay connected with family, colleagues and friends in a world mediated by technology that has become an essential part of our daily lives” (Lim 61). People always have their phones on them, whether in their purse, pocket, or they may be on it. Technology has become the way to communicate, teach, or play games. Parents often have to tell their children to get off their phones, whether they are eating, at a family function, or someone is attempting to talk to them. Therefore, technology takes away socialization skills needed to make new

Technology can play a positive role in communication ,example, live video and audio chats that increase understanding through nonverbal messages and increase connection at the same time. While technology like iMessaging can have a negative influence because it lacks nonverbal communication, can often be distracting us from life, makes people anxious when they have to wait for people to respond, is highly susceptible to misunderstandings and makes people feel lonely. On the other hand, FaceTime has been able to provide expressions and voice cues that help bring meaning to verbal messages which enhances trust and decreases the amount of misunderstandings that go on in conversations. While, the relationship that is most influenced by technology is my friends at Uconn because we spend most of the relationship face-to-face.

Technology is constantly evolving and is becoming more and more integrated into people’s daily lives. Most people’s entire lives is are their phones. Contacts, appointments, emails, music, passwords, and those all important social media profiles, all located on one tiny device that fits in the palm of a hand. Technology holds so much power; it can be used to make, enhance, or sometimes avoid conversation. Texts, calls, emails, tweets, are all used to spark and continue conversation as well as connect people to one another. The most important thing technology does is bring people together no matter how far apart they are.

As technology advanced, I have learned to adapt and try the different platforms offered to communicate. Conflict can also arise when taking advantage of digital communication or when we fall into an addictive circle that alters our personality and that of those around us.

If you take a look at the past and present, you will see individuals have changed massively. No time in the past, has there been many innovations evolved so rapidly with endless offering solutions to the world such as music to air traveling and medicine to banking, all these transformed the way we live today. What truly is the most significant innovation is communication technology. The establishment of modern communication technologies has reformed the way today's generation interacting in society. While some people feel that this kind of technology has problems, moreover has outcomes that are beneficial to the world.

Internet communication was not common in 2004. However, there were still many people wanted to use the Internet to speak with their health providers and physician. Physician-patient communication is vital to patient satisfaction, treatment adherence, and health outcomes (Thomas et al 601). The authors believed that the use of the internet could improve the physician-patient communication (601). In order to prove their hypothesis, they utilized a cross-sectional study. At the beginning, they conducted an Internet-based survey of patients who used the Internet to look for health information. Then, they made telephone interviews among those who filled in the survey and had used email to communicate with their physicians.
