RE: Miscommunication in the Communication Age
Hmmm. What an interesting read. It’s interesting to me because, as it’s been over a week since you posted this article (and I’m fairly late in reading it), I can only vaguely recall the interaction to which you refer. I do like how you have coined this era the Communication Age. I don’t think I’ve heard that term before, but it’s entirely accurate. There are so many different forms of communication now, though, and many of them are articulated through technology. This blog post of yours, for instance, is a form of communication that reveals a different part of you and your mind than you commonly reveal to people with whom you interact in your daily life.
I had other thoughts while reading this article, but I don’t want to clutter up your comments sections by creating a comment as long as your original post. :P Suffice to say this: how odd that we, as people living in this Communication Age, in some ways need to work even harder to properly communicate our feelings and thoughts to others, when technology is supposed to make that endeavor easier.
