Smartphones
have become such an important part of modern life. It seems that some people just can’t put
their devices down. Thus, the issue of
smartphone etiquette has come up
No
one foresee how completely these devices transform our lives. But still to conduct a meaningful dialogue,
you need to look at the other person in the eye. As business leader or entrepreneur, it’s
important to think about how you share your ideas. But do you realize
· How
many times have you sent a series of texts or emails when a single phone call
would have been more expeditious?
· How
many times have you sent a text to someone a few offices away rather than walk
down the corridor and talk to them directly?
Ultimately,
business is about relationships.
My notes:
Communication
comprises of verbal and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication has no meaning or
desired effect without tonation, expression and body language.
Texts and
emails are mere words without any tonation, expression and of course no
accompanying body language may it be a smile on the face. Texts and words can be read ini any form of
tonation as being perceived by the reader.
Bear in mind that there are many ways/tone that can be put when reading texts
and words.
So when
it comes to texting and emailing, be careful of the words chosen when forming
sentences. Emojis do help…..But still,
do be careful of perception.
