Communication is as old as creation.  As centuries have passed and technology has advanced,  we seem to do less in verbal communicating.  With the invention of the first phones, then mobile phones, smart phones, the internet and SMS texting, we tend to spend more time communicating on our devices and less time communicating verbally.  Technology has taken away the warm vocal communications from many families and replaced it with cold, impersonal texting. Some families are sending messages to one another in the same house, not to mention, in the same room.  Pretty silly, right?

What happens when this communication in not received in the manner it was intended.  Although we now have Emojis to convey emotions, its is not the same as hearing voice inflections when directly communicating with one another.  Sometimes ALL CAPS could mean, pay attention, what I am saying is important, or it could alert the recipient of displeasure with something within the conversation.  Other times, it simply just mean, the other party just forgot to remove the cap lock.  Emotional sending and receiving of information can be cloudy in the age of technology.  

In this Podcast Episode, I will discuss how important it is to remember that the typewritten word, or in this case, texting is not always the best form of communicating.  Sometimes, its important to take your message back to the verbal basics and reconnect to mankind.
