Intuitive Communication in the Social Media Age

The media has opened doors and we have become culturally intelligent. The way we communicate and norms of communication have changed. We continually expand our consciousness and modify how we interact within the realm of digital communication.

Social networking tools have given one the ability to upgrade the way one communicates, and have changed the way people view one another. Years ago we were taught not to talk to strangers. Today there is a complete turn about and the whole world has become our “Friend” The Collective Voice.
Is it not incredible to realize that it is less difficult to sustain the cultural differences? There is a shift to cultural diversity and inclusiveness in terms of language, race, gender, and have now no relevance in the context of generational differences as a result of new technology?

The challenge is to bring this valuable tool to all people for them to have direct access to technology, and continue to increasingly be socialized and informed digitally.

There are various styles of communication that individual’s seem to personalize, as well as, styles of communication that are appropriate in certain contexts of use. Communicating directly with another person requires a certain style, approach and understanding of when and how to use a direct communication effectively.

While communication can take place from a single voice, it can also take place from a collective voice a viewpoint or analysis or summary from various sources. Often used in our notes and blogging, taking the place of formal media and journalism.
The message may be transmitted in a unified form; the "voice" is collective.

Communication is intentional. Words, phrases, and sentences, can be formulated with great details and purpose such as in a speech or lecture leaving little space for non-verbal communications or implication.

For the digital world, graphics are just as communicative as words, sounds and integrated media bring together creative art, digital editing, and multidimensional production. Obviously communication is becoming sophisticated and much more complex. Additionally cell phones and micro blogging have led to the challenge of meaning being condensed into the smallest parts of language. The merging of visual and textual communication has produced a kind of communication that requires visual implication within literal words. The words themselves become shortened and even coded into symbolic letters.

Communication is basic to human nature and thinking is inextricably linked to language. A person couldn’t decipher one’s own thoughts without knowing language. Is there something about digitally inspired exchange of language that is currently changing and altering the rules that we use in order to converse, have dialog, and respond to one another?

One such change is that appropriateness is now very customized, in terms of the social use of language, within digital environments. The communities themselves dictate the appropriateness of the language of their members.
