Communicating in Person V.S. Communicating Through Technology

Texting can be fun and easy. However, texting and interacting with another person can have major similarities and differences. Although they bear some major similarities, the differences between communicating through technology and communicating in person are clear.

 
Here are some similarities between communicating in person and communicating through technology. In both ways the person is talking by spoken or written words. Like how one of my friends who always likes to text everyone, but some people take it the wrong way. Or how you need to have good responsibility, so your parents will let you go over to that person’s house to tell them whatever you need to tell them. You can also bully someone in both technology and in person. Always be careful when cyberbullying because you can just screen shot that message and they’re done with their bullying ways. Like for example, one of the people I used to hang out with started cyberbullying and he got caught, payed the huge consequences, and never did it again. Those were some similarities between communicating in person and communicating through technology.

 
Here are some differences between communicating in person and communicating through technology. You can get your message across easier in person. Unless you Facetime them, and even sometimes then you can’t get your ideas across, if they have bad connection. For example, when you are communicating in person, it is easier to talk to a human so you can elaborate your ideas.When texting someone, auto-correct can disrupt your true message. Another thing is the amount of time it takes. Going to a person’s house to talk to them takes a longer amount of time. On the other hand, technology communication can take a shorter amount of time. Those were differences between communicating in person and communicating through technology. 

 

 

Although they beared some major similarities, the differences between communicating in person and communicating through technology were clear. Communicating through technology is faster and easier.

 

 

The Bonfire

There was once a fire

On New Years Eve

It lit up the neighborhood

So people from miles away could see

The next day, it was still smoking

Some things were ignited

I’m not even joking

When it finally went out

I sighed with relief

All that was left

Was the grass under my feet
