For this assignment, my partner Steva Jeremias and I compared the differences between communicating through devices versus face to face communication. We used the information from our time logs to compare and contrast. We found that we are often communicating a lot through text messaging rather than face to face or social media such as Facebook or Twitter. We both had text messages that would go on all day long. It seems that most people prefer text over face to face communication. Although it is informal, it is an easy way to communicate with many people at once.
Gender differences are a great example in determining what is conversation worthy through a text and in face to face. According to the reading, it says that men and women differed in their preferences for FtF and CMC in self-presentational (impression management) goal achievement, with men indicating greater desire for FtF interaction over e-mail interaction with advisors compared to women.I can agree with this statement because my boyfriend hates talking via text. I always get mad when he doesn't answer me right away, but he thinks having a conversation through a text message in informal.
I believe that having a conversation via text is informal, however it is your choice on how you want to communicate with another person. With all of the latest technologies coming out such as Video Chatting via cellphone, it makes it easier for people to communicate through devices such as cellphones.
