Communication FUNdamentals continues its celebration of Effective Communication Month! Last week we looked at the history of communication technology. Today, I'd like to talk about how that change in communication can affect the quality of our communication. The Influence of Texting on Effective Communication Skills By JoJo Tabares “Nd U 2 gt rpt 2me by fri5. Bob” Can you imagine receiving this email from a high level manager at a major corporation? What would you think of the company who sent this to you, their customer? If you think this is a an exaggeration, guess again! Many researchers believe that texting and email have contributed to the drastic decrease in effective communication skills of this generation. In this...
I don't normally post on Thursdays, but I began to notice a new Deadly Communication Sin of Advertising the other day that was confirmed for me just yesterday. Since this one is new, it's not part of my article, "The 12 Deadly Communication Sins of Advertising," BUT you should be aware of it.

Technology is an amazing tool with which we can enrich our lives by communicating with and learning from people all around the world. It allows us to have a long distance friendship, keep in touch with our college kids away from home, meet amazing people, build a business faster and more efficiently, and to research and learn things in seconds that would have taken hours or even years the old fashioned way: the card catalog!
