Electronic Communication

This semester included several various types of electronic communication. At some times I found this somewhat convenient. Other times when I was having internet complications, I found that I wasn’t the fondest of electronic communication. Being able to communicate electronically is a powerful thing. Citizens need to consider when communicating this way that their words may not convey the emotion behind their wording. It is much easier to hear and see emotion when someone is talking to you in person than it is to read it on a computer screen. People need to be aware of this so they can use great care when dealing with an important situation where feelings behind the words may be key to their message. Using electronics such as a power point presentation is a more advanced way to communicate with an audience. This allows the person presenting a topic to use not only themselves talking as a means of communication, but it allows them to incorporate pictures or other visual aids that may enhance their objective. One must realize that appropriate balance is necessary when using this kind of communication. When working with power point for example, being effective means that the presenter limits the amount of wording on the power point, and limiting the visual aids. Sometimes power points aren’t as effective as they could be because the audience is overwhelmed by the amount of things that are happening on each slide. Therefore, using electronics to communicate can be extremely convenient and efficient as long as it is used properly.
