Easier Doesn’t Always Mean Better

Yes, we can do so many things today a lot simpler than we used to. In terms of communication, we don’t have to wait to come home and call the person we want, and we don’t have to worry will we stay in touch with new friends we met on a vacation. Now we can rely on our smartphones, knowing that we are a few clicks away from each other. We have WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messanger, Skype, just to name a few. The tools we are using today to communicate to each other are more about speed and efficiency – it is all simple and easy, you write a message and click Send. We get tons of emails and messages every day, and replying in depth can be time-consuming. So, instead of writing a proper message making sure the other person fully understands what we want to say, we write a short message – because it’s faster, and we often do that mechanically. This can lead to misunderstandings. The point is that even if we can send messages in a simple way, it doesn’t mean the communication will be easier.
