In Person or through Technology?
Despite bearing some minor similarities the difference between communicating in person and communicating through technology are clear.
Talking on a device is a convenient way to talk, you are very distracted at the same time from what’s going on around you.You don’t pay attention when you talk on your phone. A lot of people don’t pay attention to where they are when they talk or text on their device, but people are also like that when they talk in person as well. An example is when people in public talk on their phone they’re not aware of how loud or disruptive they are, because they are immersed in their conversation, it’s the same with people talking in person too. “One time I was on my phone with headphones on and didn’t know I was talking too loud when I was at my mom’s shop, this also happened when I had a friend over and went shopping and got in trouble for talking to loud as well.”You can multi-task communicating on your device or in person.You can multi-task doing either just be careful not to do the wrong thing while multi-tasking. To prevent the worst case scenarios from happening, just pay more attention to where you, what your doing, and how you act. Even though you are multi-tasking just make sure your doing it carefully.
A difference between communicating with technology and communicating in person is, when you talk to the person you are speaking with on the phone it could cut off at any time if not careful. However, when when you talk in person you don’t have anything to cut you off mid sentence. An example is when my friend was talking to me and it cut off while she was talking, but when she talks to me in person she doesn’t get cut off. Another difference is you have to be at the same place at the same time, unlike when talking in person where you have to be in the same place and time.
These were some differences and similarities between communicating with technology and communicating in person. I personally think communicating with technology is very convenient, but it’s not the same as talking in person.
