Apply these secret techniques to improve your communication skills.
When considering the fact that communication between people has changed dramatically over recent years, it is even fair to say that it has actually changed most over the last two or three years. Ever since the phenomenal smartphone came into contention. Young people and because the overwhelming number of young people are students, it is assumed that this group leads the way in changing communication habits, but this not necessarily so. Yes, student do use their smartphones to communicate among each other and to Google answers to any questions they want to find out about, but many other people in the community are also doing the same. In fact even soldiers serving in war zones overseas frequently remain in contact with friends and relatives back home on Facebook.
From the telegram to the computer
Before we delve too far into the changing ways we communicate we only have to go back a few years to realise that most communication was once carried out by writing letters to each other. The local post office was a very busy place and people working away from home always held the time of mail arrivals very dear to their hearts. Faster communication could be achieved by sending a telegram. As telephone communication improved many found it convenient to ring each other and the sending of a telegram started to decline but the biggest change in communication happened only recently when the world of computerisation came into our lives.
The computer brought with it the Internet
With computers came the ability to access the internet and this marvel of communication meant that overnight the whole world actually became the global village people had been fantasying about for so long. Suddenly a person in China was able to sell a product directly into the countries of the western world and the transaction necessary to pay for it could be completed electronically immediately. Young people weren't challenged by this new phenomena, they embraced it right from the start and when they travelled to other countries they could keep in touch with family and friends through Skype.
Mobile phones changed the scene forever
It was when mobile phones came on the scene and it was found they could also send and receive data messages it was felt that nothing in communication was ever going to be the same again. Students and others could be seen all over the world walking the streets with their eyes focused intently on a small screen texting away madly with their thumbs. The person they were texting could even be in the same room. Nobody need ever be alone again, even if they only spoke to each other on infrequent occasions. You could even exchange perfect pictures instantly and the social media boomed.
Smartphones and the social media
To capitalise of the popularity of the smartphone, mobile phone providers made free calls available for people calling each others’ mobile. This encouraged the use of the mobile phone to talk about the most frivolous of matters. Free texting then came to the fore and email was starting to be left for business use only. From there it was only a matter of time before Facebook became a social'must.' You could communicate generally with your friends on Facebook so that all could join in if they felt they could contribute to the conversation but if you wanted your message to be a private one between only yourself and the recipient of your message you could also do this.
Facebook - the modern day town notice board
Students found that Facebook allowed them to keep in touch with friends after they graduated into University. Even fellow students who had gone to different universities
