Assignment #1 (Communication Compass)

1. definition of digital communication is Social media, texting, and portable connected devices. 
2.  4 digital communication advantages are: 

1. It is fast and easier. 
2. No paper is wasted. 
3. The messages can be stored in the device for longer times, without being damaged, unlike paper files that easily get damages or attacked by insects. 
4. Digital communication can be done over large distances through internet and other things.

 4 disadvantages in my opinion are:
1. It is unreliable as the messages cannot be recognised by signatures. Though software can be developed for this, yet the software can be easily hacked. 
2. Sometimes, the quickness of digital communication is harmful as messages can be sent with the click of a mouse. The person  not think and sends the message at an impulse. 
3. Digital Communication has completely ignored the human touch. A personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font! 

4. The establishment of Digital Communication causes degradation of the environment in some cases. "Electronic waste" is an example. The vibes given out by the telephone and cell phone towers are so strong that they can kill small birds. In fact the common sparrow has vanished due to so many towers coming up as the vibrations hit them on the head.

    3. he three most popular forms of digital communication today are Facebook, Texting and Snap chat. I think they are popular because a lot of people yours them.

4. 3 forms of  digital communication that may not be around much longer are are snap chat because its easy for people to hack. ask fm because people say bad words on it a lot. and  maybe Facebook because people hack it also.  

5. Five locations or scenarios  in real life where you really should not be communicating digitally are;


1. In the car- Because its dangerous
2. at school- Because you wont be listing to the teachers you will be on your phone
3. At work- Because you wont get no work done
4. When your at a funeral- Because it is disrespectful
5. On a air plain- Because u could cause the air plain to crash

6. All forms of digital communication are dangerous to our health and well-being. Whenever we message or e-mail someone, your tone of voice and your emotions don't go through, which may convey a different message than intended when sent. People can use the internet for cyber-bullying and spreading false information or rumours. 

7. Given the fact that four and five year old have tablets and smartphones now I don't think that kids will find a healthy balance between on line and offline activities. They are already spending a large amount of time on line, and the amount of time may increase as they age.

 8. When a person dies, I believe that if they have Facebook there account should be kept on so you can remember them more and say good things about them.
