Task 1A
Communication offline and online can be quite different, it seems like more and more of the population prefer the digital way of communicating.
Online communication can be very practical, easy and fun. Talking to a friend is as easy as clicking a few buttons on your phone, instead of having to go through the stress of travelling to the other person and talking face to face. Living far away from your friends is less annoying than before. Before the age of smartphones and technology, you would again have to meet your friend face to face. Luckily, we live in 2017 and now you can just call them or chat with them online whenever you want. And by the way, you avoid the chance of having an “awkward silence”, which is a big plus.
Offline communication also has its pros. The fact that you can see the face of the person you’re talking to is nice. Sarcasm is easier to read, since the other person can see that you’re joking, instead of them thinking

I logged off the OASIS and went back to the “stack”, but there was no prize waiting for me there. I went to my OASIS console, but no prize was found. Out of hope, I laid down in my bed and thought long and hard about where the prize could be. I grabbed a pen and paper, which probably no one else has done in the last two-hundred years. On the paper, I drew a timeline. A timeline of my life. It started with being born, living with his mom and dad, his dad mysteriously disappearing, going to public-school and then moving to the OASIS-school system. I quickly realised that living with my mom and dad was the happiest time of my life. So, my old home must be the place that truly means the most to me, and it was there I was headed. The phone in my pocket vibrated, there was a notification sent to every participant of the competition. Player One released the clue he told me a few hours ago, to everyone. Millions of people were now searching for the prize, but I had a head
First, in my personal life I’ve witness what Turkle has stated every time I go on social media i see like of communication on dates, party, and even family dinners. Using social media you can create somebody that everyone like and that would cause you to be afraid to call someone because you might expose yourself. In the article Sherry believe “At the screen, you have a chance to write yourself into the person you want to be …”and “When you cultivate this sensibility, a telephone call can seem fearsome because it reveals too much”. This quote shows that society are too comfortable with virtual messaging that they get scared of talking on the phone because there's room for mistake. Second example that shows that virtual messages aren't improving our skills in communication is the 17 year old Audrey who describe to us that after every practice she would get into the van that her mother was driving and just sit there with no interactions, and the fact that they went days without talking to each other.
She writes, “We are now in constant and continuous communication with our friends, co-workers and family over the course of a day” (Wortham 394). Even though the author’s partner lived more than 3,000 miles away, she used apps like: Google’s instant-messaging application, Gchat and others in order to correspond by voice and video that made her and other people feel close even though it’s over the screen. Physical communication is the most effective way to engage with individuals, as people are able to feel and visualize the presence of real emotions, but having a app like the one mentioned by the author, but if it’s not possible to communicate that way, communicating through the screen will fill the
I feel that we should communicate in person. You can get more detail in person or notice how that person is feeling which you don’t get so much detail over the phone. Plus the internet has had a lot of bad things happen on it over the past few years on email or just social media. Then there is also lots of arguments that start over the internet.
Face-to-face interaction doesn’t give you time to think about your response or allow you to hide your personality. In real life you have facial expressions and your voice tone that add to the meaning of the conversation. The impact of using many different applications to communicate can help people in different ways. The way we communicate with others is important. We may intend the way we communicate to be with others
It is because of personal preference; however I prefer face to face conversation. I believe that face to face conversation delivers information quickly. Also in face to face conversation everyone is able to see if the information being transmitted is being understood. If there are any
Personable conversation with actual people is the reason we are alive. It’s how God created us to share His love in an authentic and effective way. It’s how we get anywhere in life. It’s how we learn. It’s how we get everything important done in an efficient way. It’s how we live. Texting and social media can seem fun and easy, and they are in some ways, but they will never provide you with the satisfaction and fulfillment that a true conversation does. So go out there, and be the change you want to see in communication in this
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.
Face to face relationships are very important because through contact we are getting live interaction, trust, honesty, and integrity. Face to face conversations are more positive and more reliable than friendships online. In cyber space you convers ate with friends but some will not acknowledge the friendship in public. Social media is slowly taking away from face to face relationships, because we contact our family and friends on the computer screen. We are typing while looking at the screen instead of seeing facial expressions. Therefore, we aren’t sure if they are interpreting what we are saying in a negative or positive way.
As social media has become the easiest way to communicate, face-to-face interaction is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Many people, especially those
Why was the message that was sent to me in all caps? Is that a way of showing anger? Many get emails or texts or any forms of messages through electronic communication and have no idea what the message is saying or how their tone of voice is. Many have kids who just started using communication or haven’t started at all, and are wondering what to teach their kids about communication. The best solution to this problem is to teach using face to face communication. In the old days, talking face to face was the way to go. They would walk or drive somewhere and meet up just to have a conversation. Now a day we rely on electronics. Even though sending emails is easy, talking face to face helps understand people in a more formal manner. Are these
Looking back to ten years ago, many of us would have never thought technology would have taken off like it did. In order to communicate with others we would have to physically be in there presence or call them from a landline telephone (if available). Today, social media has created several outlet for individuals across the globe to communicate. Sites like YouTube, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow users to communicate with each other without having to be physically present. If you are an owner of a smart phone then you are able to message, share photos, and video chat from the palm of your hand.
[2] On Screen On Screen communication is anything that is on a screen, this may include TV Screens, computer screens, mobile phones, iPad’s, iPod’s, MP3 players and tablets. Screen based communication includes Emails because it is sent from one device to another and this may be used between external companies and Kuoni like airplane operator and hotels. Emails may be used internally to get from one department to another this could be Customer service to HR regarding jobs. Another use of on screen communication is the website where customers can find what types of holidays Kuoni offer, where they go, any offers and even the terms and conditions of travelling with Kuoni so customers know what to expect if they need to change their holiday. The advantages of screen based communication is Kuoni can have a presentation internally or even externally about how the business is doing any planned changes and therefore a large amount of people can watch presentation at any given time and gain a lot of information from it. The disadvantages are that it may be difficult to have a screen wherever you are especially the bigger screen and may be
When online, people are blocked off from hearing and seeing these non-verbal suggestions. “As human beings, our only real method of connection is through authentic communication. Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on the written or verbal word. A whopping 93% is based on nonverbal body language.” (Tardanico). This can be a real problem to society because if a person acts as if he or she was fine online, they could really be hiding their true feelings, and others would never know. “Awash in technology, anyone can hide behind the text, the e-mail, the Facebook post or the tweet, projecting any image they want and creating an illusion of their choosing.” (Tardanico). The person may be feeling upset, depressed, or suicidal, and all others can see is the way they pretend to be online. Without nonverbal cues, others will never know the true emotions behind the computer or phone screen. Another issue if that “Soon, they will neglect their family and friends as they are too engrossed with the social networking sites…” (Social Networking-Destroyed Communication Essay). Essentially, social networking sites have caused families to slowly drift farther apart. As well, family bonds and friendships are being worn down and broken. Social networking has caused the importance of face-to-face communication to lessen; now we depend on little emoticons and the way the person
Imagine someone turning a big switch to the off position for the internet? What would happen to people who use Webcams, Skype and Face time? How would anyone who is more comfortable with online interacting verses face to face communications react? Could business meeting that happen from coast to coast be achievable? Since 1991 (Appunn and McAllister, 2014; Walters and Grinell, 2014) when webcams were first introduced technology has vastly improved, we no longer have to show up to a business meeting across the world or a family date at a restaurant. While it is very convenient to just open a laptop, tablet or Smartphone while trying to interact with someone it doesn’t give you the physical aspect of reading body language, ensuring engagement and seeing facial expressions as does face to face communication. In a Forbes article Mina Chang expresses "Face to face interactions build trust, understanding and a real sense of shared mission."(Chang, M. 2015). While not having to physically interact with someone it is not always necessary, more people of the older generation prefer it to the younger generation who find it acceptable with forming bonds through internet experiences.
Online chat may refer to any kind of communication over the Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver. Chat messages are generally short in order to enable other participants to respond quickly. Thereby, a feeling similar to a spoken conversation is created, which distinguishes chatting from other text-based online communication forms such as Internet forums and email. Online chat may address point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers and voice and video chat, or may be a feature of a web conferencing service.
