Week 2 Discussion Question #1
I believe that in today's society we very well continue to build new worlds of communication. Whether it's using our newest innovations/technology or methods. Individuals all communicate differently depending where they are located, what resources they have, and what culture they are from. We have a ton of ways in which we communicate today, such as; Cell phones, cameras, video cameras, speakers, computers, texting, instant messaging, commenting back and fourth on blogs, and articles or written papers. People express their ways of communication based on what is available and conveinent for them. Not everyone has phones and internet, so they have to find other ways of communicating with one another, such as notes, symbols or anything else they can think of. Our ways of communicating are expanding today because of the time and effort people put into making a new electronic way of us to pass communicate I think that's it's great that we have the newest items for us to have options to, but I also believe that it's ruining our culture the most by going in the deep end with our economy, and using our money to put into items we try and innovate, but not succeed.

I meant week 3! Sorry
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of the technological aspect with the new worlds. That brings the topic more clarity. It is true that this ability allows for enhanced communication. It also brings into focus that technology has created a relatively newer level of communication with symbols. Texting has brought about an alteration to the traditional symbols that we use in word formation. A three letter series
ReplyDeleteOf symbols can mean the same as three words, lol-laugh out loud. This can and probably will progress as technology continues to progress.
This is all very true. Technology plays a huge role in communications, not only for the ease of the product your using but also for the different kinds of communications out there. Take this blog for example. Five to ten years ago, we would of never been taking college courses online, especially when that class is through a big blog. I think its great how far we come, but has technology ever had a negative aspect when talking about communication.
