    It's nice how this article highlights the different uses of technology especially the social media for different age groups. It talks about how technology can be positive or negative for teenagers/young adults depending how much they use it. there are extremes on both sides. It was interesting how it mentioned out of all the groups the older adults had the best use for the technology, because if they keep their brain active and keeps on using it it will prevent it from degenerating. Which was quit a surprise for me, because i thought they would have the least use of technology.

    Although consumer technology products have led many people to a sedentary lifestyle, technology is actually helping the health industry and revolutionized the way patients are cared for in hospitals around the world, making it more affordable for people to get the care they need.

social communication

  • These online platforms are already transforming the way we operate by allowing an instantaneous flow of information and suggestions on how best to manage local healthcare services.
  • Thanks to social media, we no longer need to rely on face-to-face meetings or long chains of emails to share ideas and hold discussions. It is like an online meeting with real-time minutes that can be easily accessed and updated at any time.
  • The ease with which local information like this can be accessed is proving beneficial for all kinds of doctors. While there are still a number of GPs who do not use social media, newly qualified doctors have found our group particularly useful when familiarising themselves with services in the area.

  • Concerns will always exist around internet security and privacy for instance, though we have mitigated these with meticulous moderation and full use of Facebook's multitude of security settings. All of the group's conversations are "closed" and only visible to group members. Instead, we use our Twitter feed to keep the public up-to-date on our work.
  • Doctors' online conduct is also a concern. Most health professionals are sensible in their social media etiquette. But there is always the risk that GPs will share inappropriate material or identifiable information about patients.

    Explains three key skills leaders need to be effective communicators. Both parties are responsible for communicating which many people do not think is true and the leader needs to be the instigator.

  • we must all learn how to better communicate with individuals and groups whose first language, or language of choice, does not match our own
  • This requires the ability to see that a person's own behaviors and reactions are oftentimes culturally driven and that while they may not match our own, they are culturally appropriate.
  • Consider any special needs the individuals on your team may have. For instance, they may observe different holidays, or even have different hours of operation. Be mindful of time zone differences and work to keep everyone involved aware and respectful of such differences
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Generally speaking, patience, courtesy and a bit of curiosity go a long way
  • And, if you are unsure of any differences that may exist, simply ask team members
  • cultivate and demand mutual acceptance and understanding
  • When you communicate cross-culturally, make particular efforts to keeping your communication clear, simple and unambiguous
  • avoid humor until you know that the person you're communicating with "gets it"
  • Humor is notoriously culture-specific: Many things that pass for humor in one culture can be seen as grossly offensive in another

    A web page that looks at Cross-cultural communication.

    I like how the article puts forward the idea of developing your own awareness of individual cultures, I think this is really important in all aspects of our lives.
