Thesis statement

‘Generally I have experienced a simple and easy life of using computer especially in writing which saves time and money as well, on the other hand my uncle’s life was a bit expensive since he had to purchase pens and books for writing. The expenses he used on writing materials cannot be compared to my modern way of writing because unlike books and pens computers are only bought ones plus they are capable of storing information for future references, whereas my uncle’s book were not reliable in strolling data thus; he had to store them packed together and took time to recover information from them. ‘I save much time trying to recover necessary information from my computer considering the numerous data I have in store, whereas my uncle had to use much of his energy and time to recover precise information he requires at that moment’.

In terms of communication electronic media which involves the use of computer is the best since it is reliable as well as effective thereby; I used my computer to communicate to my friend who was in a foreign country and I save much time since it was fast, while my uncle who used pen and paper to send a message in his country. My form of communication is easier since one is able to share conversation, pictures, images, sound, graphic as well as graphs with ease, compared to the old media. The new media computer-mediated tools allow one to share information and career interests. Primarily, the social media uses mobile and web-based applications that create an impressive user interface that allows one to navigate through the Internet (Atzori & Morabito, 2010). With the technologies, the Internet users can create a platform in which people can share different ideologies, pictures, and jokes to a wide bunch of virtual users. Furthermore, the social media has introduced easy but a more divergent ways of communication between businesses, individuals, organizations and even governments (Atzori & Morabito, 2010).

Some of the most common examples of the new mass media we have around include Facebook, Tweeter, YouTube, google, and blogs among others. In comparison to the written form of communication my uncle used according to the interview, written communication is a time consuming as the feedback is not immediate thereby; it requires prodigious skills as well as competencies in language plus vocabulary usage. My uncle used many papers especially where he ensured his communication is effective and understood by the recipient. Despite the essential idea given by my uncle on written communication as more precise as well as unambiguous, it also comes along with a disadvantage that the receiver of the message might have doubts on the information due to distance separation thus; response is not impulsive (Hogarth, 2014).

It is important to touch on the methods of operation of the social media as a improved way of empathetic its influence to the general public. They are more advanced than the old media because they are of higher quality, they are fast, and most importantly, they are more permanent than their traditional counterparts. Besides, we should note that social media encompasses information from many sources to many receivers. According to its industrial counterparts, information was basically from one sender to many receivers (Hogarth, 2014).

One of the noble advantages of the new media is that it facilitates the process of communication by enhancing information discovery and delivery. The links between the sender of the information and the recipient of the message have become very easy, divergent and faster than the traditional means. Due to their real-time and interactive nature, the social media offers unparalleled opportunities for the customers to communicate with companies. Also, some of the companies can use the Internet to manage their customers and source information regarding customer feedback and possibly the number of times their most trusted customers visit their stalls (Atzori & Morabito, 2010).

With the widespread and fast Internet connectivity in the new media, important documents are sent through emails from one part of the world to the other. It has, therefore, attracted fraud stars that use expensive software to hack some emails for monetary gains or just to commit a crime. On the other hand on the interview with my uncle, it was clear that written communication he used was not applicable for all circumstances, due to various limitations where the paper with information is not always effective everywhere as a mode of communication. One and genuine disadvantage with written communication is that it lacks secrecy; my uncle had no choice on how to secure his written data, whereas I used password to secure my documents in the computer (Hallam, 2012).

The components includes; sender, message, medium plus receiver. In the written communication process there are also two major factors that are; the mean of message transmitting the document as well as the feedback. The system was highly used as older media to ensure the success of the message. In this case the sender must have experience in skill and knowledge to ensure that the receiver understood his information (Hallam, 2012).
