ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN COMMUNICATION.pptx

Remote Work and Collaboration: Technology has transformed how we work and communicate. With video conferencing tools and collaboration platforms, people can seamlessly collaborate from different locations worldwide. This shift to remote work has opened up new opportunities for businesses and individuals to connect globally1.
Social Media Revolution: Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have revolutionized communication. They allow real-time sharing of thoughts, ideas, and experiences with a global audience. Businesses also use social media for marketing and customer engagement1.
New Media Channels: Traditional media (newspapers, TV, radio) coexisted with new media (websites, blogs, podcasts). Smartphones and mobile devices enable access to news and information anytime, anywhere1.
Efficiency and Convenience: Technology makes communication faster and more efficient. Information technology keeps people updated on events and developments in their surroundings2.
Challenges: While technology enhances communication, it can reduce face-to-face interactions and increase the risk of miscommunication2. Striking a balance is crucial.
In summary, technology has reshaped communication, making it faster, more accessible, and globally connected. As technology continues to evolve, so will our communication methods!
The downsides of commucation include:
Deteriorating Language: Text messaging and online slang can lead to a decline in language quality and proper grammar1.
Privacy Issues: Communication technology lacks privacy, which can be a concern. Messages and data transmitted electronically may not always be secure1.
Overruling Cultures: Globalization and technology can sometimes overshadow local cultures and traditions, leading to homogenization1.
Distraction from Real Life: Excessive screen time and constant connectivity can distract us from face-to-face interactions and real-world experiences2.
Potential for Misunderstanding: Misinterpretations can occur due to the absence of non-verbal cues (such as tone and body language) in digital communication1.
Loss of the Art of Conversation: Relying too heavily on technology may diminish our ability to engage in meaningful, spontaneous conversations1.
Remember, finding a balance between technology and personal interactions is essential for maintaining healthy communication! Prioritize High-Yield Activities: Apply the 80/20 rule to identify tasks that yield the most benefit. Prioritize language learning by allocating time for it daily1.
Schedule Regular Language Study: Make language learning a habit by setting aside dedicated time each day. Consistency is key to improvement1.
Engage with Language Materials: Read news articles, blogs, or books in the language. Practice writing by journaling about your experiences and thoughts2.
Listen Actively: Tune in to podcasts, news broadcasts, or music in the target language. Use “hidden moments” (while doing chores, commuting) to listen and learn3.
