The Computer as Communicative Tools

Computers as Communication Tools

I have learned that computer is the medium to communicate with people, of any subject, and at any time. It is the fastest way to address messages in different areas within a short period of time. For educational purposes, I usually use Gmail and chats for the discussion and if another person is not online we are able to remind them with another alternative tool through calls and messages. But even if that doesn’t work, it is taking a long time to communicate. I experienced one of the amazing aspects of the computer is, at one go everybody can plan a schedule and we are able to mention the roles of each person. If communication is to happen between teachers, student, and peers, the proper sites, time and topic must be texted so that every member will get ready for the discussion.

When we have an online discussion, some of the challenges I have faced were, concluding the ideas of different participants are difficult, lots of interruption, and it takes a long time to combine the points by one person and it is expensive too. I can say that in the computer, an advanced discussion cannot be done appropriately unless the computer has connected with a strong internet and all the ideas shared by participants are systematic. Whatever communication taking place, knowing the source is crucial for every user because it has got high chances of getting into trouble of online bullying.

Communication can be done with the people of the different region in the world, online application for studies or tutoring, job, payment and updating the software are beneficial among all the benefits of a computer. Moreover, the computer enables learners to co-construct the knowledge through sharing ideas, meaning making through discussion, and exploring the effective communication tools so that user don’t misunderstand the messages.

I have seen many free online editors or checker sites. Through communication, learners check their write up and they create space to build knowledge, open opportunities for learners to express a feeling, immediate feedback, and solution for every different academic write up. Many learners needn’t have to travel personally to submit an assignment, as the computer got the aspect of online submission. It is the easiest ways to seek help from knowledgeable others.
