A Brief Summary of my Blogging Experience



I have chosen this piece of blog as I think txt talk has influenced me so much. When I was in secondary school, I used txt talk to chat with friends on MSN, SMS and some of the emails. At that time, I thought I have reached a crazy level of using it as I also used txt talk to write my composition unconsciously! Then, I started to pay more attention to my language used and tried not to use txt talk even if I was chatting with friends on MSN and SMS. After a period of time, I could use the language used for academic and txt talk separately. So I fully believed that if you can manage using txt talk well, you have certain level of managing English as you have to understand the form of and relationship between English and txt talk.

Creating this blog gives me a chance to re-taste the fun of blogging since I abandoned using my Xanga. I am a quite lazy person. It is a bit hard for me to write blog posts continuously without a specific topic. It’s good to maintain a blog for a school course as students can share different interesting ideas for the lecture topics. This provides us a different perspective to think again towards the same topic when we read others’ blogs.

Thanks everyone for reading my blog and leaving comments to me! Hope you also enjoy your blogging experience here!

Is it good or bad to have the new communication technologies in workplace?

I have asked my friend who works in a logistic company as an operation clerk this question. It seemed that he would like to answer me “good” but finally give me a “bad” after picking up a phone call from his colleague!

I asked him immediately for the reason of changing the answer. For him, the “bad” is from the convenience of the use of internet. He is in charge of handling the shipment, booking and schedule things. No matter whenever or wherever he is after work, he has to deal with the urgent orders when he has a mobile connected to a network. He has two mobiles, one with network and one without. I witnessed him using the one with network to check the e-mails and changed schedule from clients while using the one without network to communicate with his colleague! He said it made him feel like working all the time which is so stressful.

 


However, from his point of view, despite of this bad thing, the new communication technologies did help him when he is in work. It is more convenience for him to work with his colleagues overseas. He can use the network to launch a video meeting or simply ask them questions by instant messenger such as MSN. They can cooperate better with this communication method and save a lot of money for the cost of overseas calls! LOL

New communication technologies somehow help people for their work, but also bring some harm to them! It really depends on how people use it and what the employers require workers to do!
