3). Pick one concept from
the assigned reading this week, not
already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
I found the topic of asynchronous
and synchronous communication to be very interesting. In face-to-face
communication we can understand a speaker’s meaning more clearly through their
body language and nuances. Because of this, we can make for a more diverse
conversation. Synchronous communication allows for multiple levels of communication
to be occurring at once. This means that we communication can occur much
quicker. Asynchronous communication is done one step at a time. This is more like
texting, email, or blog communication. Asynchronous communication allows for
speakers to be able to think up a response, and revise what they’ve written
before they send it. Both ways of communication are effective in certain
environments. In groups that I communicate with every day, where norms are
already established, I prefer to speak synchronously. You can get more
accomplished and allow for more diverse conversation. In asynchronous
communication, participants will be more likely find shortcuts in their
communication; abbreviations and striking sentences that are assumed as
understood. This can create confusion when a participant isn’t really sure what
the person is talking about.
Thank you for sharing your blog on; of asynchronous and synchronous communication. I also found this topic on subject interesting. Body language does make communication easier to understand or interpret what the speaker is trying to say. I agreed to what you shared about the information on synchronous communication. You did a wonderful job defining both asynchronous and synchronous communication. I agree that providing a more diverse conversation among small groups, allows groups to get more accomplished. I feel that you did good job on your blog and that you chose a good topic to share. Thank you again for sharing and keep up the good work.
