Outline:
1. Apology
Before: Sensitive
After: Inadequate
2. Values
Before: full of sense
After: senseless
3. Information
Before: concise
After: shortcut
4. Saying “I love you”
Before: not a text template
After: a text template
By the time communication technology has emerged, things made to be enacted were meant to be changed. Before, saying an apology is sensitive. Someone to apologize must be taking some efforts and by then he’s get more possibilities of being forgiven. Not like today, saying sorry seemed to be inadequate. People just usually say sorry through texts and chats which made people disrespect the value of apology. Speaking of values, before, values are full of sense. People really try to make values valuable and that they respect not only it but also the feelings of the people. But it’s different now; values are getting senseless. People are trying to get things through shortcuts and that sometimes, information disseminated is getting hard to understand. Another is that, information before is concise and accurate. People disseminate messages and information through efforts and sweat, and even with their dignity in it. But today, it has changed. People just send information and messages just by one click on their phones and keyboards. Above all, before, people say “I Love You” very sincerely; that they really approach the person they love and make them feel they are. But it has changed a lot. Today, people send those difficult-meant words as text templates and like the feelings not in there anymore. How sad it had been. Is it really meant to be like this? Or just people are getting too tired of showing and letting know they love? Or not…

i agree jud troy! i just checked my templates last night and found an "i love you too" & "i'm sorry" template! i felt so bad jud. these are things that are supposed to come fromyour heart, not from a bunch of already built-in messages saved in you're phone! :p
ReplyDeleteIt lies upon the "person". Although I agree that the text templates pretty much "sucked", I never used them in dealing with my "problems" (honestly, I never knew they existed until Miss discussed it)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, the "change" of communication is part of life, as a new generation emerges, so will the evolution of norms including communication.
But yeah, it's a shame some people "abuse" the wonders of communication.
