1.1 How does technology build better communication skills? How does technology build better communication skills? With technology and digital communication, it's becoming easier to communicate because people do not have to do that initial face-to-face reaction when they are behind a keyboard. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on how one chooses to communicate. In the digital information age, critics of the technology saturated society claim that all the forms available to humans for digital communication are inherently ruining interpersonal communication as we once knew it. This claim is wildly not factually and based off claims that are emotionally rooted in a fear of changing times, and most often by an older population that hasn’t yet picked up on technology and the many uses for it in their daily lives. Technology has the ability to enhance daily living from appliances to mobile devices and computers, technology is everywhere. Aiming to stray as far away from it as possible will only hinder someone from advancing themselves in their learning abilities and in society overall. Technology and communication are not mutually exclusive. In the rise of digital communication, technology can actually help communication skills because it allows people to learn written communication to varying audiences. With technology being a standard in most office work environments, employees and managers have to learn ways of communicating in-person at meetings and during daily work routines, but also making sure they are updated on any company announcements via email or digitally posted. What used to be written memos, are often now online blog posts to the company site or a newsletter sent to employees. It’s crucial that people understand the importance of emailing as it is often considered just as important as telephones in a method of contact information. It is skill to learn different types of technology, and it’s a skill that is often highly regarded as something that makes someone stand out as an asset if they are able to quickly learn and utilize technological systems. It’s not just the application of technology anymore that companies search for, it’s also knowing how to use it to communicate. Using technology to communicate effectively among people is a newer skill that not all workers have. Technology and digital communication have actually helped people with their communication skills and learning how to create messages that are understood in so many characters or less. Rather than just immediately saying what one is thinking, it now has to go through multiple processes before the world knows what someone is saying. First it is thought, then typed, then read over, and then send is hit. Humans are becoming copy editors and storytellers by utilizing technology to communicate. Once something is posted, technology makes sure that thing can never be erased. So even though someone may have delete a post, somewhere out there it is still archived, or even worse, there is a chance that someone already saw the post. Employers are frequently checking potential employee’s social media accounts to see how effectively they use technology to communicate. If someone is posting unprofessional content, it is highly unlikely they will get hired for the salaried position they so badly want. It’s important that digital communication is a widely learned skill and that people learn not to unprofessionally abuse technology. Basic skills within an area of emphasis can only be enhanced through use of technology. Technology also has the power to teach people to communicate with varied audiences. It’s not always just staring into a phone. Humans have had communication apprehension long before the dawn of mobile phones. Communication apprehension is the anxiety of talking to others in varied settings. While someone may have communication apprehension in a classroom, yet be fine speaking up in other settings, they still have it, it just varies on the environment. Anxiety is just the fear of the unknown. When communicating face to face, the feedback that the sender may get from the receiver isn’t always certain. In order to reduce this uncertainty, people will stereotype. Stereotyping is actually a normal things all humans do in order to reduce uncertainty therefore reduce and anxiety and eliminate constant worrying.Grouping things in order to develop a system of communication can be a great thing as long as it is not meant in a way of harmful doings or harassment toward and individual or a group of people. With technology and digital communication, it’s becoming easier to communicate because people do not have to do that initial face-to-face reaction when they are behind a keyboard. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on how one chooses to communicate. The effective communicators remain out of internet battles and stirring arguments, while the ones who choose to facility internet conflicts are using harmful communication that creates a reputation for their personal brand that may not be in their favor when it comes to professionalism. As technology becomes more and more integrated into the way humans live their daily lives, these skills are important to learn. Whether someone is an essay typer or a vlogger, it’s imperative that they cultivate the skills necessary to effectively communicate utilizing technology. Download 138.63 Kb.
