Good morning,
As the most celebrated holiday season of the year approaches us, we must look at how we are becoming a society of the global network. In the quest to be 4G fast we have lost the true essence of what is the only thing separating us from any other mammal on this earth “The Art of Verbal Communication” I too have reverted to sending text, but texting has totally replace the once, (2) two-minute phone call to ask someone, (how you're doing) wish a family member or friend (happy holidays) or the simple statement of (I love you). If we continue to allow texting to be our form of social communication will lose our ability to effectively communicate our true needs. Today's world is a multifaceted unit. However, one fundamental principle of success remains constant - the need for communication.
Communication manifests in various forms, both verbal and non-verbal. One area of increasing concern for humans is how to nurture and maintain effective intellectual intercultural beings that are unique by the art of communication, between family, friends and colleagues. Ask yourself theses questions?
Communication manifests in various forms, both verbal and non-verbal. One area of increasing concern for humans is how to nurture and maintain effective intellectual intercultural beings that are unique by the art of communication, between family, friends and colleagues. Ask yourself theses questions?
1.Why do phone companies have unlimited texting but selected times to talk?
2.Why do we risk our life to text, when we could have just dialed the number?
3.The same amount of time it took you to text, you could have placed a call?
4.Why do people not answer their phone, then text you right back asking you, what do you want?
5.Why have we limited two forms of texting to determine the contents of the message? Capitals = angry. Lower case is all other emotions- happy, sad, nervous, excited, concerned, and worried, depressed, in love, sick, or just wants to holla.
Don’t get me wrong I too text, but I do miss sometime just hearing someone’s voice, the joy of something exciting happening in their life or the pain of losing something valuable in their life, which may never be heard again if we continue to allow texting to be our main source of communication. In the spirit of growth, something’s never can be replaced with time or technology, communication is the art of the quintessence of humanity. Remember if we don’t use it we will lose it.
