Business Communication - Task 5

I. How technology affects communication positively and negatively?

In the globalization era right now, technology is something important for all people who live in this world. The use of technology can be a great help to people in communicating, reducing the time it takes.  However, technology has also changed communication in many ways. Technology can affects communication in positively and negatively. The affects are below :

Technology affects communication positively :

For example the positively affects is like internet and social media. People right now mostly connecting with the internet and they have their own account for social media. With the internet people can connect with another and also social media help us more easier  to get the information and communication with others. Some applications social media like whatsapp, line, facebook, instagram and many more we can update or get the new information and its more easier to communicate because people right now is already modern and now to use the social media beside they have their private mobile number for telephone. 

Technology communication its also important In the business area. Communication through email, text messaging, instant messaging and even budding tools like social networking have been among the most profound effects of technology on every area of business. Whether you need to speak with an employee who is traveling in another state or country or you need to communicate with your supplier half way around the world, technology allows you to do so instantaneously.  The ability to release information to many different people at once, without calling a meeting or requiring printing of the materials.

So that technology communication affects positively in the nowadays or in the business area. Technology help us easily to communicate with another. And right now people have to thanks with technology because I believe people can't live without technology for make our live easily and also easily to communicate with others.

Technology affects communication negatively :

 The Internet makes it possible for people to communicate easily with associates in other societies. Consider the socializing people nowadays, life has changed a lot. There are no social meetings and get together. People are more bothered about their online life rather than in the real social life. People have literally become addicted to the Internet and cell phones, and this addiction has led to many anxiety disorders. People addicted to the Internet feel lonely and isolated. Technology can be a distraction for us. In the business area, technology communication also have  negative affects. Installing monitoring software in the workplace sends the message to employees that the company does not trust them. Giving employees responsibility, trust and respect boosts their morale and productivity. Showing them that they are not trusted and must be recorded decreases morale and worker productivity. And technology has also added an increased possibility of crime. A tech-savvy employee can embezzle funds and make it difficult for the company to trace; hackers could access personal or financial data of customers; or creators of viruses and malware can capture valuable information that could render a company helpless.

II. Why listening is such a big challenge for most people?

A good communication is starts with listening. Listening is a skill of critical significance in all aspects of our lives from maintaining our personal relationships, to getting our jobs done, or to taking notes in class as we are a college students. And why listening is such a big challenge for most people? Its because when we're listen our partner tells something to us, we have to listen it clearly and we have to understood what are they talking about. And if they need our comment or suggest, we can give it to them. But mostly people is just want to heard only and don't want to listen, as it wants to understood but don't want to understand others. We have to understand what people talk to us its because same like we are respect what they talk to us and they believe us to hear it.
