Speech is Valuable Part 2

The more and more I spend time with the new friends I've made after moving to California, the more and more I see that people only live life through their phones and other forms of social media.

I have mentioned in a previous post that people take communication for granted.

Louis C.K. and his thoughts on twitter

I just feel that we are losing the human factor in our lives and care too much of what others want to think and do.

Live life by doing, and not by viewing. It's so cliche to say it, but you really get a better sense of appreciation through experience.

• Seeing nature at its finest is great through pictures is fun, but it pales in comparison to the actual feel of taking hikes and biking long trails.
• There is great eye candy to be seen with all the food posts people put up of what they've eaten, but why not learn the beauty that is cooking.
• Getting laughs from e-cards from friends is entertaining, but what about actually spending time with friends rather than artificially through social media.

I don't mean in anyway to drop any form of social media you have, but rather take time to venture and experience life.

Technology advancements were made to help make life simpler and help give us more of what we want. Time.

Go out and do more, and live life.

Speech is Valuable Part 1

Something people tend to take for granted these days is actuyourconversations. We find ourselves wanting to type or text things out rather than living each moment. Eventually we see more and more people losing the ability to be social among others.

It begins to separate bonds between people and we start to lose the human factor in us.

Finally it leads to dependence of only being able to communicate through a device. It doesn't seem like a big issue, but it also carries over into other actions we do.

What I've noticed is this strongly affects:

• our confidence 
• want for attention
• social skills

People tend to feel that its easy to just keep things electronic and hide behind a phone or a computer. At times they pretend to be a completely different person but in reality are completely opposite.

Finding a constant need to have people look at you. 

Using different or fake terms to come off as witty or interesting.

It can't be said that social media doesn't give its form of entertainment, but when it begins to pollute ways of thinking as well as social development, its hard to justify what people try to do through social media.

Where it comes into play

People are finding it harder to see why communication is an important factor in everyday life.

Just as an example, in the job market, strong communication skill:

• builds your value
• gathers respect from others
• and creates higher opportunities just by how you can converse

Better confidence can go a long way. Being able to begin with your social skills can greatly improve ones overall value.
