Communication methods of students
Over the past decade technology has advanced so much that I personally believe it is taking up too much time in people’s lives and that some people may believe they cannot live without their computers or mobile phones. Thirty years ago people in western society would communicate through face to face communication, telephone calls and letters. In today’s society people can communicate through many different technological devices and services such as Facebook, Twitter, emails, text messaging, picture messaging and many more. Being a mother of a young boy I am concerned that this pursuit of technology may only get worse as time goes on, and that methods of communication are changing.
Having personal concerns over these matters is why I chose the topic ‘Communication methods of students’. From my research I aim to establish how much people depend on technology as their main source of communication and how often they use it.
The participant I have selected for my research was chosen since I felt that she was the most suitable candidate, she represents a modern young adult who has grown up in western society through the boom of social media and online interactivity that has taken place within her lifetime. She is therefore possibly representative of how young people may grow with technology in the near future.
The participant is a young lady aged twenty and is currently studying full time at University. As a young adult, I feel that she will have more pressure from friends and society to have the most latest and up to date technology and to communicate more on those devices than a more mature person would. She may also have different values regarding communication, whereas once face to face communication was seen as irreplaceable, it is now more common place to interact through short disconnected bursts of electronic media.
