Why is communication is more important to us than it has ever been - Part 9
<<< Why is communication is more important to us than it has ever been - Part 8
Our previous generations have all lived in a community where some of the marvels of modern technology were not available to them such as the ubiquitous TV and phone we now take for granted.
People in general interacted more within the community because they didn’t have these distractions.
Today, we operate in a self-driven entity like a ‘unit’ which governs how we work and play in our daily lives.
we are witnessing a proliferation of communication devices
As a result, we have less personal contact with other people and sometimes we shy away from that except in the case of say buying groceries, talking to doctors, lawyers etc.
However, this is also changing with time, where we are now shopping and buying online, getting business and personal advise online and even having our medical queries delivered online.
Some aspects of this change have been designed for convenience and they most certainly save time, ie. a trip to the shops, making an appointment etc. However, from a relationship point of view we need interact at the social level and continue to hone our social skills.
