E-MAILS & CHATS!

Currently
communication technologies offer a variety of alternatives to communicate as the traditional phone call or voice communication, text messages, e-mails or e-mails and instant messages or chats. In my personal opinion the future will be marked either by emails to formalize, formalize information related to family or work and instant messaging to keep in contact with our loved ones and the most important people in professional or occupational , all this due to several reasons, primarily for the case of e-mails will be so high the volume of information in all directions that will be necessary to use the laptop, the tablet as a tool of communication and storage of such information, personal and professional schedule, etc., is such a topic that we can say that the future is already today. In the case of instant messaging lack of time, the desire of our current way of life and the difficulty to move from one place to another and the inability to have the time to make a phone call such contact will decrease your minimum, we can say that in that future calls will be reduced to a call to the loved one who is in the distance or to hear the living voice of the caller or information strictly a news special or difficult.
Eventually people
end up connected in many ways but in turn isolated or alone and that direct contact will be minimal, only on special occasions, family or social events where people gather to spend some time and have fun.

Internet . By Ruth Omaira López C.

Ruth Omaira López Castaño. INTERNET Cell phones, tablets, USB memories, computers, smart TVs, and the last launch smart watches, each technology is around of a great platform: The Internet. 20 year ago, I did not think even in things like take a picture and to share it immediately in social networking like Facebook and Twitter with people, friends, and family in the entire world. A lot of people now has a laptop computer, tablet or cell phone this devices allow you to share personal information, religion, technology, social events, and negatives ideas too, many of them to low cost or free. Internet is a good way for to access education, communication, social interaction, medicine advances, science but It has misuse like child porn, terrorism, and bullying. Although Internet is an impersonal communication, with proper use, that and all the advances that emerge from there, It will continue helping to the development of new generations.
COMMUNICATION WAYS


ROSSANA MONROY FONTALVO
COURSE 8th


Forms of communication are the way how different media are used to convey a certain message or information which is the factor by which communication exists (pun intended).

To carry out the communication is important that there are three factors that influence this process which are the sender, the message and, the receiver where the first and last may be one or more persons or things.

Actually, there are many forms of communication which have been modernized thanks to technology. This has enabled increasingly more the information is communicated be much higher and that the way how the message is transmitted develop new languages.

The forms of communication have led it to move from a need to be part of the lifestyle of people. At this point you should evaluate how good or bad have become new forms of communication.

How much good are the new forms of communication?

*      They have allowed the modernization of some media of communication
*       They have shortened the time to communicate information
*       They have allowed the creation of new media to convey messages
*      They have made increasingly more people who communicate

How much bad are the new forms of communication?

*      It has damaged the spelling of people
*      It has caused health problems
*      It has accelerated unconscionable progress in media of communication

To conclude, the new forms of communication must provide is the shortening of distances, ease of transmitting information and enhancing time to carry out this process, so whatever way is used, you should always keep the main objective.


"You always have to make good use of things".

PROS AND CONS OF NEW COMMUNICATING WAYS


“Technology get close the ones that are away and keep away the ones that are nearby”
The title of this article its true. I think actually is the most important argument against new communicating ways. Just look around and you will find a sad reality. People prefer keep in touch with who are absent rather than enjoy the person who is next. If you are anywhere probably  no one will be interested in a good, continuous, deep either banal communication,  because they will be chatting on their cell phone, reading something on their Laptop or only waiting for a sign from someone who are not present. This is the point “If you want to be important, you have to be absent”.  I preferred when people called me for birthday than get a lot of instant messages, when my coworkers had to call me to ask something, when we really enjoyed and needed the company of other person.
On the other side technology has been the better way to open our mind, it allow us approach to different cultures, learn whatever you want. You can improve different talents and skills faster and cheaper. We have the possibility found all kind of information you need or only you wish.  “The whole world is open to you”, everything is to reach you.
Technology us video conferencing and webcam definitely bring us new tools at work, decrease cost of travels for business and increase the possibilities to work together with people around the world.
Everything absolutely everything is at your fingertips now..... I don’t know if is better or worst but is our reality.  Technology is neither good nor bad up to you to become your friend or your slave.

Smartphones: The new mean of communication





Smartphones: The new mean of communication 


The evolutionary scale of technological development shows us a rising curve, especially in recent years. The information delivery is no longer in a matter of days, now it can be acquired in real time, facilitating interaction, whether the level be familiar, social or a business which is away from us.

Some smartphones functions are becoming the expression of feelings, moods, situation descriptions, among others, in a virtual manner. For example, through emoticons-small icons that describes themselves a human emotion-. Video calls are another added value. With multiple software options that offer them for free.

But, on the other hand, technology moves us away from physical contact. In many cases we abuse these channels and we leave aside personal interaction, arguing the ease and quickness of these same.

In parallel, constant damage of our language is evident, especially in spelling, meaningless abbreviations and bad pronunciation, change of meaning and context; we even invent words that sound absurd.

Nowadays, technology looks like a double-edged sword with which we only see and enjoy the benefits it offers at this moment. In the long run, misuse, disinformation and technological frenzy, could become an extremely addictive drug, moving us away from what we call "human being quality".
