Communication Compass (Assignment #1)

Communication Compass

1.  Digital communication is data transmission,digital transmission or digital communications is the physical transfer of data over a point-to-point or point-to-multi point communication channel.
2. Advantages- Faster and easier, can be done over long distances through internet and other things, it provides facilities like video conferencing which can save money and time, it removes semantic barriers because the data can be changed into different languages using software Disadvantages-  It is unreliable as the messages cannot be recognized by signatures. Digital communication ignores the human touch a personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font. The quickness of digital communication is harmful as messages can be sent with the click of a mouse the person goes not think and sends the message at an impulse. Many people misuse the efficiency of digital communication the sending of hoax messages.
3. Three forms of digital communication that is popular is Facetime, Snapchat, and just regular texting through phones.
4. Three forms of digital communication that might disappear could be, E-mailing people, using sites like Myspace or MSN, also Facebook messaging might become irrelevant.
5. 5 scenarios where digital communication should not be used is maybe        when your announcing something for work because maybe people have questions and concerns that cant be expressed through technology. Another is telling someone something very important such as a break up or engagement those things should always be in person. Telling someone there fired should be done in person and not through a text because its just not right to not do it in person. If you have meeting with someone it should be done in person and not through technology because to me it seems like you don't want to meet the person and that seems rude. 
6.    One form of digital communication that is harmful is one online dating because you really never know even though the website mat seem reliable it could be the opposite, another harmful form of digital communication is websites like omegle because you don't know who you are talking to.
7. I think that they will find a healthy balance and not just be more connected.
8. I think that it is OK to keep a persons online communication because really it doesn't hurt anyone so I don't see it as a problem
