Is email impersonal?
Some people think that email is impersonal and that sending an email is probably the lowest form of communication.
They apparently don’t know about text messaging.
One thing I got from my mom is that communication in a relationship is very important, and she’s right. Back in the day, you had two options: phone or letter. Today, you have phone, letter, email, text message, instant message, facebook, myspace, etc.
When people are face-to-face, that’s when the most important communication happens. You can see each other’s reactions and body language. You can react directly to what’s said. That doesn’t mean that email is any less effective.
Some people are better at getting out what they want to say by writing it down. If that means shipping it off in an email, I don’t see the problem in that. I’ve done it myself, and people have done it to me. Just keeping the communication lines open is enough, don’t you think?
I suppose these very same people demand the personal presence of the people they want to talk to, and that they never sent a text message in their life.
