Electronic Communication

My experience with electronic communication this semester has been interesting to say the least, weather working with groups on a PowerPoint, or writing on this blog. I believe that involving electronics in this English class has really allowed me to see how much electronics are a part of school work, and how useful they can be. In society today, there is hardly a moment when technology is not involved.

To communicate through electronics, however, is different from other types of communication, and definitely has not been in use as long. This difference must be taken into account when technology is used. People may need to adapt the way they communicate when they are using a new or different medium. They also need to take into consideration their audience and method: are they talking with a computer programmer, a friend, or my Grandmother (who knows absolutely nothing about computers)? Are they recording their voice or writing an email? All of these things must be thought of before electronics can be used successfully. I am glad to have had the opportunity to practice communicating in this way.
