    I tend to agree with Morrison in the article, emojis can definitely be used creatively and are a good way to set the tone of your text message.

    This is very true, emoji can have multiple meanings, an angry face can be seen as playful or serious, and since tone is sometimes hard to distinguish, misunderstanding may occur.

    Emoticons have a powerful effect on how we receive written information. Emojis are an easy shortcut to communicate informally. This is because the tone of a conversation affects how we react, and because physical cues help set the tone. Furthermore, emojis help bridge the gap between writing and emotion, which is responsible for causing misunderstanding.

    Emoji's are a useful way of reducing the amount of misunderstandings and misinterpretations that can happen online. These misunderstandings happen since we can't hear the tone of the voice or the body language used, therefore emoji's make it a little easier to understand whoever is on the other side.

    It feels like we've reached a point where in some cases, emojis have started to replace altogether, the words we send each other digitally, whether in an email,text messages or facebook.

    I absolutety agree with this article. Emojis has a lot of meaning and really useful, the typical example is that Facebook was updated 5 emoticons next Like button, the symbol of love, haha, surprised, sad and angry. I feel quite excited with the new logo because the Like button has indeed become too boring and there is something wrong when people click on the button Like for a sad status of their friends.

    I hadn't considered that emojis might actually eventually replace words. I've heard people end a joke with the phrase, 'ha ha, smiley face-poo' (which refers to the disappointment of receiving the smiling turd emoji). I think context plays an important part in this though and I can't ever imagine seeing emojis appear in a formal document

    I agree with using emojis to express your feelings or put a message aross

Is technology making us less human? | TechRadar - 7 views

  • Here's a new term to consider: sensory dynamism. The concept has to do with our perception. When you look out of a window, you perceive millions of variances - colour, perspective, sound, feeling, and many others. But when you gaze at an iPad, you're sensing just a few variables - and with email and SMS, you may barely be using your senses. That could pose a problem in the long run for future human development.

    I sure think so. Technology does not allow us to communicate with our surroundings like we used to 10 years ago. Kids today are glued to their Ipads rather than playing outside :)!

    The increased use of technology to communicate to one another will more than likely reduce the amount of people skills we should have. Along with the different types of body language and gestures that we would need to have an understanding of.

    The idea proposed by the article that surgeries might not be as successful due to the lack of human contact is quite frightening as this would effect our long term health as a society. An area that probably needs further investigation!

    Although the technology has helped us improve our daily lives, whether be it by communicating or performing a difficult task, which can't be done so easily by a human as it can be done technology. But we have to set limits on how much we us it and how much it should not interrupt our daily human lives. I think this is what this article is trying to say, that yes technology is a good thing in many ways and it helps us in things that we can't perform, but if it is taking over our lives and getting in between our lives then we need to take it into consideration.

    We are living in a technology world so we don't really communicate with others, just following these processes which are set into technology.Therefore, we are losing social skills steps by steps and can't express our emotions properly, we isolate ourselves by walking around in our little virtual world and look at the screen of our devices and forget our self in real life.

    Technology has only adapted us and we have adapted technology. I believe its just part of humanity. We need to be grateful for what it has gave us. We are still human. Though i see how some technology has proven useless and can affect us in a negative way it does not need to be used as a necessity.

  • ''Most important, I tell people to try to not be so intent on scoring their own points that they miss the gist of what someone else is saying to them,'' Ms. Conrad said. ''Too much conversation is really confrontation. In business, you've got to keep your emotions out of the discussion if you want to hear things right.''

      Important point--it's so easy to get lost in what you think is right
  • 'Speaking, you have the opportunity to bring the force of your personality into play.'' she said. ''Some of the things I teach people is how to use eye contact and body language effectively to emphasize a point and how to modulate their voices to keep out patronizing, petulant or aggressive tones that turn off an audience.''
  • I teach managers how to use humor to their advantage in dealing with employees.''

      An interesting approach, though a person should be careful when dealing with people from a different cultural background as they might not 'get' the humour.
