It is crucial that individuals take precautions when using technology to have conversations with others. Due to the fact that it can be dangerous, effective telephone communication is very important. Before using technology as communication devices, it is a good idea to know the main issues regarding it. It is also a good idea to know about any recent developments and how it affects its users. By making sure the technology has high ratings and positive feedback, there is a greater chance that you will be happier with the outcome of your purchase.
The first rule of effective telephone communication involves making sure both people on the line are receptive. This means that both you and the person you are on the phone with are able to talk. Neither one of you are driving, at work, or with other people who will get upset if you’re on the phone. It is common courtesy to not answer your phone while with other people, so always make sure it is a good time for both of you to be talking. Setting up a time before calling a person is definitely something more people should do because you can make sure you are entirely focused on only the phone call. It is very common for people to get distracted while on the phone, so they are not always completely concentrated on the call. If someone does call you when you are not expecting it and you’re busy, simply tell them that you will call them back later. This will be the more respectful and responsible thing to do considering the fact that you will be giving them your full attention when you are no longer busy with something or someone else.

Swartz and Allen both offer valuable perspectives on expectation of privacy and legal limitation of cell phone data tracking use. As consumers of technology, Americans use cells phone not always by choice, sometimes by necessity. Both authors advise us to question our stand on the government’s unwarranted involvement in our lives. I would encourage us all to be aware of all technology around us. Albeit convenient, we must be willing to accept our part in its use.
When you hear the word communicate many ideas come to mind. To some it brings thoughts of face to face conversations others think of internet based video conferencing. There are many ways to communicate with others in this day and age. Leaders have many tools and methods with which they can communicate with those around them.

“We barely have time to pause and reflect these days on how far communicating through technology has progressed. Without even taking a deep breath, we’ve transitioned from email to chat to blogs to social networks and more recently to twitter” (Alan 2007). Communicating with technology has changed in many different ways. We usually “get in touch” with people through technology rather than speaking with them face to face. The most popular way people discuss things, with another individual, is through our phones. Phones have been around way before I was born in 1996, but throughout the years, they have developed a phone called a “smart phone”. The smart phone has all kinds of new things that we can use to socialize with our peers. On these new phones, we can connect with our friends or family on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Technology has also developed Skype, a place you can talk with people on the computer with instant voice and video for hours. The new communication changes have changed drastically from the new advances made in technology through our smart phones, social networking sites, and Skype.
Communicating with anyone in the world continues to get more efficient every single day. Technology has made communicating faster and in better quality. Business meetings can now be held with people anywhere in the world, at any time during the day, over a video call. Business people are also using email so much more than they are the telephone because of the efficiency. People do not answer a phone call when they do not know the number that is calling them. People will answer an email much faster than calling back a person who has left a voicemail for them.
Since its inception, the telephone has become one of the most important inventions of all time. Although some were skeptical about its replacement over telegrams, in the end the advent of this fine communication equipment has won the hearts of many. As a matter of fact, the telephone system had come to numerous facelifts that it literally connected the world before the internet was born. Because of its importance, homes and businesses can not live without it. In the U.S. alone, most if not all have a phone in the house.

Nowadays, the lifestyle “culture” we are living has changed; it is not the same as the one was before a couple of years. Culture is something reflect or represent a specific group of people that share characteristics and knowledge such as language, cuisine, religion, art, music and social habits. Culture nowadays differs from culture in the past somehow. There are many factors that affect the culture and make changes. One of the most common factors is communication technology. Communication technology itself is developing and changing by time. And in this report, we are going to talk about communication effects on culture, both positive and negative effects. And also give an explanation and examples of the technologies that
In recent times, the ways in which people communicate have changed significantly, and new technologies are increasingly being used for communication in everyday life. The barrier of connecting between one area and another area has decreased. Furthermore, the advantages of modern technologies are more convenient than in the past. The term modern methods of communication can be defined as the new ways of contacting, which are advantageous for human relationships and these modern technologies that give advantages to the values of society or to the principles of a community. Therefore, modern methods of communication have amplified the values of society, because they are useful for everyday life and offer more benefits than detriments for it. This can be argued by demonstrating three aspects of modern methods of communication in how they advance educational opportunities, how medical science has been encouraged and how mobile phones allow instant connection worldwide.
