SMS, email, voice, what is fashionable. But recently I had trouble with a written communication.

Let's talk about communication. It is a process of exchange of knowledge to share information, express feelings, our views of the State, or to share our skills. However, communication is more than words. It consists of verbal (words) and nonverbal (gestures, expressions, etc.) messages.

Researchers suggest that only 7% of communication of a message is sent through the words and the rest is that all non-verbal expressions. A Much time is what the person says, their inflections, gestures, expression, tone, and especially their reaction to what I said, "that speaks louder than words. With text messaging and e-mail only gets written, it certainly has its limits, especially if you do not know the person well. (This was my faux pas.)

When written communication is difficult to express their feelings and intentions. Some messages have been added emoticons, smiling but looking a little jumping up is not exactly the same thing. If someone sends you a smiley face, what is his true feeling? They are serious, lying, depressed, or being sarcastic?

In the statement with your family and friends, you already know their intentions and their feelings towards you. If you accidentally write something that sounds a bit strange, you assume the best. This does Password not always with knowledge. With e-mails and text, are not able to arrest the person and ask, "What did you say?"? "While we are the clear words on the screen who are angry and react quickly without thinking it through. Rarely text and ask: "What do you mean? "or" Could you explain?

For some reason, with writing what he writes is is not being questioned. If someone I wrote, they meant. But how often in verbal communication is a something goes wrong? In this case, we can quickly get to say "I do not mean that the way it sounded. Unfortunately, once you send the message – is sent. And, unfortunately, could be sent to more people you expected. (Another of my mistakes.)

The estimate now is that over ten million documents and emails are sent every second and is quickly replacing all other forms of communication. It is sad to think when we realize the importance of nonverbal communication. It could be explained why the number of Internet scams are increasing so exponentially. In 2007, the Internet Crime Complaint Center reported these statistics:

or fraud auctions online is the type most reported fraud, which represents 44.9% of consumer complaints

or non-delivery of goods and / or payment of up to 19% Complaints

Check fraud, or 4.9% of complaints

o About 70% of fraud victims have been victimized through website

o Approximately 30% of victims have been duped by e-mail

Of course, I'm not saying they can not be wrong and in person, but if someone looks like my financial adviser in an unmarked white van, wearing a red scarf and white shirt with tattoos and nervous eyes shining, I'll probably not do business with him … let alone leave the house.

Since I was little, my mother used to recite this quote:

"Keep your words soft and sweet, you never know from time to time, which will have to eat."

These words show even greater with the number of words that are sent by text and email today. And you can not always be ready for the manner in which these words do innocent must be interpreted without his voice gentle and kind naa ¯ ve to judge you.

Written communication used as an art form in which people took the time to think. Now, it is often hasty, thoughtless response. I sent several e-mails with information and, immediate response surprised no idea. It's like if you do not have time to actually read what I wrote, in some cases, have come to the wrong conclusion and fired a thoughtless e-mail. (Its not fake.)

In summary, here are some points to consider when messages text or e-mail to:

1. Read all e-mail or text slowly to be sure you understand the meaning.

2. Think about your answer before Firing back, especially if you are angry.

3. Review the response for errors. Spell checkers do not always target errors of wording.

4. Make sure that whoever is sending is correct.

5. Make sure that any message will not be sarcastic misinterpreted.

6. If you receive a text message or e-mail that offends you, take the time to ask the sender before responding to his statement or her.

7. No text or e-mail while driving or distracted.

No, I will not say what really happened to my clumsiness. I'll keep it between me and the thousands of contacts who received my badly written e mail emoticon. I hope that this disclosure is appropriate. )
