Traditional Communication Still Works

Here is my thought of the day from a great new friend of mine:

Blogging,  text messaging,  email, and instant messaging are all great communication tools. 

But guess what else still works?  Picking up the phone to call someone or stopping by just to chat.  Yes, that’s right our phones actually make/receive calls too and we often forget that (I am just as guilty as the next person).  Some people actually do still like to sit down with a real person.  While social media tools are great and much time is spent discussing them - they are just one piece of the pie.   

Sometimes it takes an experienced, wiser person to remind you of these things.  So as technology continues to improve, lets not forget the traditional methods work too.  I encourage you to take your online networking offline from time to time.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.      

Have a great day!

    Hi Derinda,

    Your comments are always appreciated. It can be easy to forget this being able to do so many things from our computer and cell phones. Sometimes it is good to be reminded.

    Have a great day!
