late post: ORAL vs. WRITTEN

If there's one thing that I love receiving, it's letters. I love writing letter too. Even in the generation now that we usually just use e-mail and text messaging to communicate, I still would like to receive and write letters. Actually, I still do.

The technology and its advancements has played a huge part in today's society. Newer and newer technologies such as cellphones, mp3s, etc. are being introduced to the public. It seems like no one can survive without technology. But really, no. People can live without technology only if they're willing to do things the hard way. Haha. I've always been amazed with how people before like our ancestors survived without any technology that we are experiencing right now. For example in communication, the early early people used stones to carve images in walls to say something and the other would interpret it. It's so easy today. You just say what you mean and mean what you say (or not! haha!).

So for me, having both is a good thing. When we get to practice good oral communication and understand those written ideas and messages, communication can flow very smoothly or at least it will help people in conversing and communicating.

Maikli lang to! Tungkol sa Social Interaction

Dati, may parte ang mga song hits, magazine, at pocketbook kung saan may makikita kang litrato ng tao kasama ang adres at "physical description" niya. Ito ang pen pal era. Pagkatapos nito, nauso naman ang random dialling ng landline at makikipagkilala, ito ang phone pal era. Halos kasabay ng text era, ay ang internet. Ito na ang bagong paraan ng mga tao upang makipagkilala sa iba. Uso noon yung mIRC. Marami ang nagchachat at mag-a-eyeball (magkikita kita for the first time). Marami ang nagkakila-kilala dito at maraming pagkakaibigan ang nabuo.

Ngayon, meron nang Multiply, Friendster, YM at kung anu-ano pang website sa pakikipaginteract. Nagiging malalapit ang mga tao sa isa't isa, sa ibang bayan man, maging ibang bansa.
