 Coolness: 145200 | Alright kids, it's time to learn this once and for all...
There are levels of communication, and you should learn these so that you don't infuriate the people you deal with...these levels are based on the seriousness (and complexity) of the information you are trying to communicate... level 1 Instant messenger and Text message on phone. This is the weakest level and is generally for mundane simple things (although messenger can also be for just chatting) ideal examples of a good use of a text message are the following: 1) be there in 5 mins 2) let's meet at my place instead. 3) not going to make it tonight, see you next time. Level 2 This is a little stronger than the previous level, it's mostly good for sending information that is more detailed and complex... it should be stressed however anything really serious or requiring intricate back and forth responses won't be able to function at this level. Level 3 by telephone (cell or land line or skype) This is better than the first two levels and in a pinch can be used to resolve something serious...it has the advantages of being harder to interpret meaning because you hear the other person's voice and can judge the strength of inflection they give to a certain word or phrase there by purging ambiguity. Level 4 In person This is by far the strongest form of communication, it is even better than level 3 because you can look in the other persons eyes and perhaps get a sense for what they are feeling, at least to stronger degree than all the other levels. It also has the added advantage that at some point the conversation has to come to a clear end (presumably you don't have the time or will to sit around speaking to someone for all eternity) so now you know how to communicate, using this outline bear in mind that serious things like a break up between lovers, a fight between friends, or anything really serious inside a family, really needs to be dealt with in person. Follow this and your relations will be smother with the people you care about and want to stay friendly with... A lot of you out there are very confused by the new era of communication technology and have some how got it into your head that you can do anything you want because your different from all the others that have come before and you are so savvy that you can overcome these limitations, i got news for you, you re wrong. If you doubt this explain to me why then your social relations with real people you have actually met are such an un holly mess? The answer is that you won't admit that there are limitations on what you can do with different forms of communication. Quit hiding behind the means of communication that you are using and start showing people the respect they deserve, it's not convenience but cowardice that motivates your actions, it's a lot safer to sit behind your screen and click away rather than looking people in the eye but it's not the honorable way. anyway hope that wasn't too ranty... |
