Running Head: HOW TO IMPROVE WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION 2
Consequences of technology
Today at present, technology has become a part of our daily life. It is incredible for
boosting speed, but it does not have a good effect on personal relationships. However, there
is a cure for technology saturation. Use the phone just for necessary calls, better yet, take a
little walk across the office and talk to you employees face to face (Watson, S, 2010).
Employees will appreciate the attention and there is going to be a more familiar
environment within the company.
In addition, technology affect business communication because it facilitate people to
pretend to be who they are not. This can cause a damage in trust. According to
Opposingviews, in a communication processes, this facilities are the main security concerns
in the use of technology. Technology has caused the spread of information to be flexible
and diverse, including the use of audio, text, video, animation and graphics (Morley M,
n.d., para.2). Before you send an important email to partners or your boss, first, try to meet
them in person.
