Communications In A Modern World

By Bruce Jopples


Communications in a modern world is something that has taken many forms. We now have more ways to communicate than ever. Using emails was something few people did even a decade ago but now it is an integral part of what we do every day. Technology has had a major impact which should not be dismissed.

We now have things such as twitter in which we can express sentiments to the world as things happen to us. It means we can share everything momentarily and that we can always be in the loop when it comes to social and cultural changes. It can also mean that people choose to communicate in shorthand and has meant that a new language has emerged based on simple and convenient communication .

Due to language constantly evolving around us and the fact that it occurs across borders which refer to countries or culture, we must keep abreast of the changes that are being experienced. We now utilise communication as a currency that is of value. If understood it shows to others that interacting is so important you have a willingness to learn new terminology.

Culture also has quite a sizable impact. We are brought together by our fascination in shared experiences. This is more pronounced when considering things like pop culture and how we respond to it. Years ago there was no discussion over what we were offered as consumers. Now thanks to digital media we are allowed to comment on music videos or on how we view a celebrity.

The same applies to news. This is now reported not only by professionals but by the use of bystanders and video phones. Everyone is now an active part of what they see and this means they have more power to have their opinions and ideas to be expressed.

We are revealed as being people concerned by being social by recent changes that have happened. Even if you are a person who spends that majority of their time staying in there are still several outlets to encourage interaction. The way our time is spent is a defining characteristic and can tell us a lot about the society in which we exist that we've made the choice to change how we use recently developed technologies to be more sociable and share ideas with other people.

Communication continues to be adapted in order to advance. One thing is certain when it comes to this matter - things can always be expected to change and move on.
