Communication Technology and Stress – 1

Our forefathers never received any letters. I am not talking about email, but letters written by hand. Then post began and they started writing to each other. A letter used to be received with great expectations and joy. It was answered very carefully on the best stationary. Then came the advent of courier companies. You could send and receive a letter overnight by paying extra. This added to stress and reduced some fun out of letter writing. Mobile phones and couriers brought us more in contact with each other.

Is Technology Killing Communication?

Recent research indicates that some of the main issues in sales and communications right now have emerged because people believe you can replace face-to-face (and voice-to-voice) communications with text, e-mail and social networking. These ways of interacting electronically obviously offer huge benefits and are no doubt part of the future, but they lack a personal element that offers a distinctive edge. For example, organizations that respond to Internet leads with a phone call have ten times the closing ratio of those who respond by e-mail (even when the leads come from people under 30 years of age). So if you are wondering why your sales are down and notice that your office is spooky quiet, now you have your answer.

Also, companies that have regular face-to-face meetings (like technology giants Google and Oracle, for example) are typically more successful than companies that choose to communicate through technology. Something we hear all the time in every industry is “We need to get everybody on the same page.” You’ll have more success doing that if you rely less on composing tweets or e-mails and pressing ...
