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.

After food and shelter, our need to belong and feel positively connected to others is arguably the number one predictor of well-being, happiness, health, and even longevity. Trying to connect in this way, though, is actually counterproductive. Here are three ways virtual connection is ruining your real-life relationships.

In the 21st century, social media has completely transformed our face-to-face (verbal) communication experience. Not only does social media create too many distractions between couples, time is generally wasted, which could be better spent towards the relationship. -
Instead of deriving pleasure from your experience and the people around you, you seek it from your phone. Your brain's pleasure centers also respond positively to novelty, which social media offers in a constant stream of new interactions, new posts, and new pictures every second.

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

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 :)! - ...3 more comments...

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.
Good Communication Starts With Listening - 4 views
-
This is one of the common way to keep conversation going and also to show your interest or to show that we are listening to the speaker. However, in my opinion, if we use to many of some of example given by the writer i.e. "mm-hmmm," "I see," "Oh?" "Right," "And?" "Go on," "Tell me more," etc. in the conversation does not show a high level of engagement to what the listener is talking about.
-
Listening allows us to interpret meaning from a conversation. The ability of listening is vital for interpersonal communication, without the ability to listen effectively messages are easily misunderstood.
-
Listening involves an awareness of what our partner is really saying to us or asking us to do. With good listening we are able to ensure we understand the true meaning of a request or statement. We have all heard about "active listening." I think this technique is broadly misunderstood for being artificial. No, it's not just about looking at the person speaking, smiling and nodding in approval. It's a lot more than that.
Richard Branson: 'Communication Is The Most Important Skill Any Leader Can Possess' - F... - 2 views

Great performers understand that communication is an art and takes practice to refine. When Jay Leno was hosting The Tonight Show, he would leave the taping on Friday and head to Las Vegas or another city for a series of standup shows. Leno would do 100 to 150 acts a year even when he had a full-time job because he had to stay sharp. When is the last time you practiced any presentation 150 times, or even 20 times? Speaking of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon rehearses his monologue in front of a live audience earlier in the day. He has a pen and paper in hand and makes notes of what gets a laugh and what doesn’t. These comedians do not rely on a scientific algorithm to develop their jokes.

I'm absolutely agree with the idea of this article because practice makes perfect. If a senior or manager without good communication skills, they will have difficulties in expressing their opinion or ideas to others to understand them.
-
I certainly agree with the concept that this article is trying to convey. Effective communication skills can easily be learnt, with practise and good people skills. -
Communication is a skill that can be developed and is key to leadership success. Without effective communication it's impossible to become a great leader. Additionally, the leading plans and ideas never find success without good communication

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.

Effective Cross-Culture Communication - from MindTools.com - 1 views
-
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

Do your counterparts see you as a pushover or a jerk? Study shows you may be oblivious - 2 views
-
When considering how your boss, co-workers, or other professional contacts behave, it's likely you can quickly pick out "the jerk," and "the pushover" in the crowd. But, have you ever stopped to think how your counterparts view you? Perhaps you assume you have a reputation as being "tough," or maybe you like to play the part of "the nice guy," but there's evidence that shows you may be completely oblivious to the way other people actually see you.
