BBT 10- Communication Compass (Assignment One)

1.  The meaning of Digital Communication is: any electronic device exchanging information.

2.  In my opinion I think some advantages and disadvantages with Digital Communication are:

• Advantage- If there is an emergency, you can get  hold of your family and friends for help.
• Advantage- Having digital communication device you can keep updated on the last trends even if you are not home. 
• Advantage- They help people learn and understand things better due to the new technology
• Advantage- You can communicate anyone around the world, its simple and easy. 
• Disadvantage- People are addicted to Digital Communication devises, they always have to have them on them. 
• Disadvantage- Having these devices also have some disadvantages, people don't have land lines any more due to these devices. 
• Disadvantage- Having Digital Communication device can also mean cyber bulling, kids and teens get cyber bullied all the tie due to Digital Communication devices. 
• Disadvantage- These things are not all good things either because of the fact that people always have their interest in their phone, they never pay attention to what is going on around them and never see the important things in life. There is so much respect gone down the drain due to these devices, people don't know how to act. 

3.  I think that the most popular communication device these days are cell phones, iPod's and computers. These devices are all popular these days because everything is based on technology these days its all every body wants. Children (from all ages) use technology for many reasons, they start using technology has soon as they have the ability of use their hands. Its the same for all ages.

4.  I think that peoples house lines(or land lines) aren't going to be around for much longer because of the fact that everyone has and will have a cell phone and everyone will not use them because they will just use their cell phones.

5.  Some things should just be done in person but now days, people chose to do it over text. Some thing you shouldn't do over text are:

1. A death- When telling someone that someone has passed away, its never a good thing to hear. But when hearing it over text its twice as bad, so just tell them in person. 
2. Breaking up with someone- Breaking up with someone is also something that isn't a nice thing to do or hear. Having to break up with someone is hard but when the tie comes, it has to be done so do it in person. 
3. Telling a big secret- In some cases you should not tell anyone a secret over text because someone could easily see your phone and then the person that sees your phone knows it too. 
4. Knowing something- When knowing something important you should be talked about over text because of the fact that maybe they didn't what anyone to know except you. 
5. Being some place important- When your some place important, you shouldn't use your phone because of the fact that you could be missing out on something. For example: you could be at a wedding and be missing it because your on your phone. 

6.  Digital Communication is in all ways dangerous, people do not use the technology in the right ways and they get harmed because it all back fires on them. Its hurtful and harmful to everyone around it.

7.  I think everyone is going to stay connected to technology because of the fact that the technology is going to keep getting better and better and its going to keep people hooked.

8.  When people pass away I think their record of on line activities should not be touched because maybe someone wants to see what said person did over the years and wants to look at their pictures in memory of them.
