Homework
Communication interview with Andrea H (Mum)
1) Isobel:What was the electronic communication like when you were my age?
Andrea:People used telephones. There was one telephone in a house and they were generally not walk-about, they were usually fastened on the wall. Most of them still had dials, they weren’t the push-button ones.
2) I:How has it changed since then?
A:Obviously people now usually have more than one phone in the house and they are push-button ones and mainly walk-about ones. Also people have mobile phones. And a lot of people now have fax machines and computers. When I was a kid computers took up whole rooms and only big businesses had them.
3) I: What would you rate as the best communication tool when you were young? Why?
A:Conversation, talking to people face to face because having a conversation was the best way to communication.
4) I:Is verbal communication better or worse than it used to be?
A:Worse because people rely too much on txt and email and don’t talk to each other as much.
5) I:Do you prefer past or present communication? Why?
A: The ways we communicate nowadays are faster and more convinient because you can communicate with people who aren’t near you. It’s much less personal [than it was] though.
6) I:What do you think the best communication is these days? Why do you think that?
A:Probably mobiles and texting. [Because it’s] easier to keep in touch with people all day and it’s more convenient.
