This Week's prompt: Communication
Letters?
Email?
Phone call?
Chat Room?
Text?
I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter. It's been years - probably15+ and I don't really miss it. You put a letter in the mail and wait, and wait, and wait some more and have I ever told you that I'm not the most patient person in the world?
E-mail - Now that's my kind of communication. Fast and easy - no looking for stamps and envelopes, then running to the post office.
Phone call - Yeah! That's the best - to actually get to talk to someone! Remember when long distance was too expensive to use? Now we can call whenever we want - even overseas!
Chat room - I've used the chat feature on my university's website to communicate with members of various group projects and it works ok but I can't imagine using it for normal communication.
Texting - I absolutely HATE texting but I do it all the time. Why? Because my daughter insists on texting me and I have to answer her. Why do I hate it? First off, I can't SEE them without my reading glasses and I can't see to type on a tiny screen either!
I've got one more for you - video chat (skype or google) , which I have discovered since my grandson was born! The best of all!
I'll bet you just love Skype!! I am not a phone call kind of gal. Never have been. I prefer email ... quick, easy, and editable. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI used to love skype until it became so wonky I would not be able to hear or see.... there is nothing like a high pitched whistle in the background to overshadow a conversation.... but there is something to be said about 'seeing' the person you are talking to....
ReplyDeleteBTW.... the blog looks great!
DeleteThanks - wasn't sure if I liked it or not! You should try the video chat on google.
DeleteTami, love the new look. And I love Skype. Without it my grandma would have never "met" my little one. We were not able to visit her in Germany for a real meeting before she passed away unexpectedly... but we skyped with her once a week.
