Don't blame the device

“What we got here is…failure to communicate.” (Captain, Road Prison 36, “Cool Hand Luke”)

We use many types of communciation tools today to stay in touch with just about everyone.  Whether it is through mobile communications, internet or snail mail, we are literally constantly connected to each other if we like it or not.

What we need to understand that these are merely tools.  What we use to communicate may not be the problem, but the way we speak or write and listen or read usually is.  And I am not just talking about the language barriers.  Even if we are communicating in our mother tongue, there are still problems that arise.

So focus on the way you speak or write and the way you listen and read to improve your communications skills rather than blaming it on the means of communciation.
