Question 1

Turtle underscores the fact that emailing and texting have taken away the inherent human voice. She regrets that today many youths and adults prefer written form of communication as opposed to direct vocal conversation. Allegedly, written text messages give the sender an ample time to think without interruption. Presumably, with written communication, the two parties may multitask as they communicate. For instance, one may do his daily chores while still communication. Vocal communication is phasing off as it requires more attention for one to respond effectively.

It is worth mentioning that direct verbal communication through phones may restrict an individual in case they do not wish to continue with the conversation. However, Turtle believes that communication via text messages has hindered the ability to determine a person’s mood, personality, education and background that are clear with vocal communication.

I totally embrace Turtle’s view by seconding the thought that people prefer using text messages as they are able to communicate with more than one person all at the same time and simultaneously. For example, WhatsApp group chats.

In my listening skills, it has proved difficult to avoid distractions. I get bored when a speaker prolongs his/ her speech without a sense of humor. I find myself logging into social media sites just to find something that catches my attention.
