Communication: The Changes Never Stop
Our own communication skills have changed over time in order to mirror the changes in the way we all are expected to communicate. Twenty five years ago, students passed notes in classes or in the hallways and called each other on the phone at night. We were expected to learn how to write in cursive and how to construct a business letter. Many learned how to type on a typewriter or simple word processor, and if we were lucky, we were allowed to "play" typing games on a computer.
Times have changed, and so have we. Now we have moved into creating effective emails and learning how to create appropriate corporate communication memos and appropriate social networking posts. In reality, I call people very little now. I text much more. I write very few letters. I type emails and facebook messages more. We have to learn how to express ourselves effectively in a clear, concise manner in order to get our message across quickly without increasing confusion.
