  2. Texting: new form of Communication or New Burden?

  3. Texting can be a health hazard • In 2008, the average teenager sent 2,272 messages which is 80 messages a day double the average from 2007. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/26/health/26teen.html • Doctors are starting to worry that this may become a health issue. Since many teens text late at night this can cause sleep deprivation which can lead to many other problems. Also, when teens text too much their thumbs can be damaged which is not safe in the long run. • Texting while driving is very risky, but many people do it anyway. In 2009, a train engineer in California killed 25 people while texting and conducting the train. Another train official in Maryland killed 62 people while texting and driving the trolley at the same time. • As a result, in 2009, Illinois became the 17th state to ban texting while driving. • http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/06/illinois.texting.ban/index.html

  4. No more one on one While texting can be fun its all anyone ever does anymore. People would rather text than talk on the phone. Many people say talking on the phone can get awkward, but its only awkward if people make it awkward. Texting can be exciting at first, but it takes away the joy of actually having a real conversation with a person. While people do have conversations through texting it gets annoying reading multiple pages of what the person has to say. It is a very recent trend that has taken over the past couple of years. While it has been around for a quite some time ten years ago texting while driving was not a problem. Texting has taken over and it seems as if it is a trend that is never going to die down. It is something that will be around for a very long time, but it is something everyone is going to have to get used to. It can be somewhat of a burden, but at times it does come in handy when there is that one person everyone wants to avoid talking to.

  5. Do chat rooms affect interpersonal communication?

  6. Abstract • The displacement hypothesis predicts that online communication reduces adolescents' well-being because it displaces time spent with existing friends, thereby reducing the quality of these friendships. In contrast, the stimulation hypothesis states that online communication stimulates well-being via its positive effect on time spent with existing friends and the quality of these friendships. • jcmc.indiana.edu/vol12/issue4/valkenburg.html

  7. Chat Rooms: the disadvantage • The disadvantage to chat rooms; it takes away physical contact with friends. • It replaces verbal and nonverbal communication physical wise with the touch of a keyboard. • It decreases communication skills • Lack of eye contact when talking to a person.

  8. FUN? • Text-based chat also means that the users cannot see the facial expressions of each other, which are essential to fully understand the speaker's intention. The lack of paralinguistic cues is a physical constraint that written discourse imposes on its users (cf. Werry 56f). Internet relay chatters often try to eliminate it by using emoticons and special acronyms to express their feelings.

  9. Conclusion • Chat rooms can be fun but in a lot of cases they take up a lot of time. Managing time is a key. • They send mix signals to other people in the chat room. • When you get in front a person, things may not feel the same, uncomfortable.

  10. Does Email interfere with personal communication?

  11. EMAIL VS. PERSONAL COMMUNICATION • MESSAGES WHICH USED TO BE DELIVERED FACE TO FACE ARE BEING SENT THROUGH IMPERSONAL MEANS SUCH AS EMAIL • EMAIL EFFECTIVELY REDUCES SOCIALIZATION WITHIN THE OFFICE • WEAKENS BONDS WITHIN THE WORKPLACE

  12. EMAIL - Opinions • “WHILE EMAIL CAN BE A QUICK AND EFFICIENT WAY OF TRANSFERRING INFORMATION, IT DOES NOT CONVEY A PERSON’S TONE OR FEELINGS” – unknown blogger at hodu/com/technology=communication • “I BELIEVE PHYSICAL DETERIORATION IS ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM. I FORSEE A GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHOSE SOCIAL SKILLS ARE NON-EXISTENT, AND WHO WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO BECOME PART OF ANY KIND OF PROJECT TEAM OR FUNCTIONAL GROUP IN BUSINESS” – unknown blogger at communicatebetter.blogspot.com

  13. Email - Conclusion • WHILE EMAIL IS AN EFFICIENT MEANS OF COMMUNICATION, IT CANNOT REPLACE THE WARMTH OF A PERSON’S HANDSHAKE OR PRESENCE • CONSTANTLY EMAILING INSTEAD OF COMMUNICATING PERSONALLY, CAN EVENTUALLY ISOLATE COWORKERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY

  14. Social Media and the Human Connection http://www.gravity7.com/articles_arguments.html#ixzz0r93tZe78 According to Adrian Chan of Gravity7.com, a social interaction design consultant, “because communication is an interpersonal and a social phenomenon, technology issues must be approached with a particular appreciation of human and social factors”

  15. The Argument For & Against Social Media Cons • “Wall-to-Wall” and “Tweet” communication will replace face to face interaction • Social media interaction limits temporal friendships. Pros • Social media platforms may allowing one to meditate on what is being communicated • Social media bridges vast distances, allowing communication between people thousands of miles apart.
