Samsung OmniaGood evening.
I'll start with a story:
I had a phone; I liked that phone a lot. However, that phone had been very annoying and keeps crashing on me. A phone is a lot to me since I go around on my own. It also has my notes, schedule, appointments and other things. Of course, the most important thing is that I can contact people. So, my phone eventually died and I got a new one.
Phone as a medium of communication
Phone calls
1. Words and messages
-A phone call is able to convey all that you have to say to the other person. However, the downside of this is that sometimes, it is harder for the other person to hear the message and misinterpretation occurs. Or if the signal is bad and parts of the messages are interrupted.
2. Facial expression and eye contact
- A phone call lacks these two as you cannot see the person but only hear the voice. With that, we cannot actually determine the mood, expression, emotion and reaction of the person easily.
3. Tone of voice
- A phone call is all about the voice. The tone of voice is the only way to determine the person's reaction and expression. If he emphasise on certain words, means he's trying to make a point. If he yells at the phone, there are chances that he is angry.
SMS
1. Words and messages
- The words and messages are conveyed directly. It is easy to understand as there are no external or environmental noises. However, there can be misunderstanding due to abbreviations and languages.
2. Facial expression and eye contact
- There are none of these either, however, to make for these, you can put smileys or 'actions' to indicate their feeling. Though, this can be easily manipulated to lie.
3. Tone of voice
- SMS is all about the words. There is lack of voice or person here.
3G Video Chat
-You have everything, all the message, facial expression and eye contact, and tone of voice but video chats does not have the personal touch. It doesn't have the personal feel that the person exists in reality.
