What you say here is absolutely true:
Quote:This form of digital communication makes it doubly difficult to get one's message or context or intent across in the exact way they meant it without typing a long wall of explanatory text.
People don't realize on how much true communication depends upon "body language" - stance, relaxation or tension, facial expression and more - all of it adds to and enriches communication. It gives nuances of meaning to the mere spoken word... and it is precisely what is missing from written, online communications. Without those ancillary indicators enriching the written word, people and their meanings are sometimes misinterpreted.
I worry about future generations and their apparent addiction to electronic media on specifically that account.If this form of communication takes over, will they even get enough in-person socialization to subconsciously teach them those cues?
Is the future of human communication going to be as automatons, void of expressions and social cues, robotic in nature?
.
something I did notice is that people who communicate allot online seems to forget body language and all the other nuanced things we do does exist in communication and they are unable to deal with confrontation in real life.
