Unit 1 Assignment 1: Voice vs Data Cell Phones: Cell phones are a part of our everyday lives depending who you ask. The technology for them have come leaps and bounds that what anyone could imagine. Cell phones use to use a voice network only collecting waves from towers to transfer their voice communication. Sending one signal out and receiving one signal in. Now, though cell phones use both voice and data for their networks and it has been ongoing competition since then between carriers.
Texting is ruining social skills, which are important to building personal relationships, because there is no body language to show any emotion. This is because excessive texting is ruining people’s ability to communicate effectively. Some people are afraid of real intimate conversations and hide their true feelings behind a cell phone or computer. Texting via cell phones or chatting via a computer does not show a person’s emotions since one cannot determine whether the other one is happy or sad. Through text messaging via cell phones and social networks, people can become more individualized, distant, afraid, and indifferent.
Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance. We hear only the negatives and do not attend to offers of help or ways to improve our performance. We are over stimulated and do not accurately receive messages that could help us grow and develop. Barrier Three: Criticizing Personal Style Rather Than Messages. We often find ourselves criticizing the way a message is presented and ignoring its content or value.
In this day and time you need a cell phone to survive. It’s the top way of communication besides cyber chatting, and guess what… you can do that on a cell phone as well. Cell phones now are meant for everybody. From the 80 year olds with arthritis who can’t move their fingers to use it to the little 2 year old babies who can’t talk to communicate on it. Like the advertising commercial with the little baby who can’t really talk, but he can advertise a cell phone commercial.
Someone with no sense of hearing, if they go out and people around them cannot sign, then no communication would take place and individuals end up not getting help or not having their problem sorted. No sense of hearing leads to people not doing tasks like answering the phone, listening to the radio. All this becomes a daunting task to them. Deaf blindness becomes a very difficult task like cleaning, choosing clothes from the wardrobe, reading their bills and bank statements. This has an effect on them because they are unable to maintain confidentiality and independence all this leads to isolation and people being frustrated.
● Lack of clarity – is caused by either a lack of details or a conflict between the details, resulting in confusion or misunderstandings. ● Emotional barriers – are caused by the audience’s emotions--such as anger, resentment, or excitement—which interfere with their ability to understand objectively the message being delivered. ● Physical barriers – cause a breakdown in communications due to physical limitations, such as a lack of time, exhaustion, or remoteness, and produces confusion or
Most students who are allowed to use cell phones use them for social media, and recreational apps, distracting to the point of the whole educational system; learning.. Instead of being used as educational tools, cell phones are used by students as a source of distraction and not for the academic uses they have, and students do not listen even after they are told to stop, and given rules and guidelines about what is allowed to be done on the cell phones (Kiema, Kinjo, 2015). Cell phones will end up as another classroom distraction to students without administration, so students can decide not to pay attention whenever they want and continue to talk to each other on social media. 2 On the topic of communication between students, cell phones are also the facilitator of cheating on tests between students, and they are usually also used for plagiarism, when students take an author’s work and call it their own. Students can easily use text messaging features of a cell phone to share test answers, silently and undetectable by the teacher in most cases
With the new inventions of texting and other ways of communicating through technology, it seems that more and more people would rather just be a face behind a screen. Moore’s point was that the new ideals of constant texting are killing the communication between people. Texting has become a very important part of most people’s life. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to do everything through their cell phone, rather than face to face . It makes it easier for people to say things through a text message because they are not in front of the person.
For this psychology project, I decided that I would deprive myself of something that is in my life 24/7, my phone. Choosing this, I think, was one of the most interesting things I could of done because it is so personal to me and is in my life at all times and completely taking something away that's with you all the time can really have an effect on someone. It gave me a taste of childhood, when phones weren't really too popular and kept so close to you as you would your credit card or car keys. I spent basically all my time on my phone and it gave me a big reality check that, there are so many other productive things you can do with life other than sit there and be on your phone. Before I decided to go through with this experience, I collected the amount of hours I was on my phone, and sadly, it was basically for at least 20 minutes each hour, between the time I woke up, untill the time I fell asleep.
Beyond doubt, the cell phone is one of the biggest inventions of all time. We all know what life before this little cute gadget was. I use my cell phone to make my life easier – it’s my alarm clock, my watch, and my music player. Unfortunately, nowadays with all these fancy characteristics the phone becomes an accessory more then a necessity. People forget why and where they are using their phone and very often make someone else’s life miserable.
