Digital Communication Good evening! I was asked a few questions about digital communication, and I would like to answer them. Here is the first «As text-based communication becomes more widespread, some specialists have noticed different patterns of communication among children and adults. Why do you think that is the case?» There are indeed differences, we must be understand that communication occurs with a child who has not formed a personal worldview, so many topics that can be discussed with an adult person are taboo in communicating with the child. Incorrectly selected words will cause a lot of questions from curious children and simple "It's too early for you to know" is not enough, you should avoid swear words. In general, it is easy and interesting to communicate with children. «Are text message and social media affecting the way we communicate? Do you think is good or bad?» I think opinions are divided, 50 to 50. For me it does not make any difference how I communicate, online or face to face, the goal is to talk, communicate. Naturally, there are nuances, when communicating in the network you can choose words, but in real life it will look weird, when one of dialogue’s member thinking about simple question and how he can reply. In the network, you can be an anonymous and people* will form your portrait according to the said words, where as with live communication for many people, key details can be smells, appearance, neatness, cleanliness, etc. But even apart from this details and answer the question directly - no, has no impact, and that's good. However, this is my subjective opinion and the person who reading this text may not agree with me and I will happily talk on this topic live or through any convenient kind of digital or analog communication. *people - I must confess, the first time I wrote "peoples" =(
