No one can be isolated, so there is communication. People learn and progress in contact. We need to learn a lot of things, so communication has become an essential skill in our life. With the development of science and technology, our communication is not only in the face to face communication, in modern human beings, but the Internet has also replaced most of the face to face communication. So Netiquette becomes more and more critical.
Every day in my daily life, I have more or less communicated with friends around me. Sometimes I choose to ask the teacher and classmates when I encounter a problem that I can’t do or forget the notes in class. In my perspective, communication can make me better in real life, and human progress is generated in the conversation again and again. With the advancement of technology, our communication methods have become more diversified and more efficient. Jacques Diouf state: Video provides an excellent example of the technological advances in the communication field. Little more than a decade ago, the video was a large and expensive medium. The basic kit for shooting in black and white included a camera and recorder weighing about 30 kg, a power supply, and often an electrical generator for fieldwork. Total cost: almost US$10 000. Now video can be filmed in vivid colors using a “camcorder.” A semi-professional unit, including batteries, weighs less than 3 kg and costs less than US$3 000. The size and price of video equipment drop further every year, helping the use of video playback to expand rapidly everywhere, even to villages in remote rural areas. ( Jacques Diouf 1994)
In module 2, I learned the formal method of writing emails, which will be of great help to my future. When we graduate, we face greater competition, which is finding a job. When we want an ideal job, we need to communicate with the company’s personnel for the first time by email. When we use the correct way of writing an email, this will give us more impressions of the first communication. Of course, it is not just that when we are looking for a job, learning to write the correct way is an indispensable part of our communication etiquette. Everyone wants to be affirmed by others. If we can’t even write the right way How can we bring the approval of others into our daily lives?
With the diversification of communication, we should pay more attention to the etiquette of communication when communicating with others. I have some small suggestions to improve the protocol of communication. When we face others’ questions, we should stick to who I am, and don’t change your original intention of communication because of other people’s evaluation. When we speak on the Internet, we should always remember not to hurt others, not to hurt ourselves, and not to let others hurt you. The purpose of communication is to improve our lives. When we communicate with others for this purpose, we should reduce ineffective communication.
