Canada's view on Email and Social Skills

A GOOD READ< CHECK IT OUT!

According to two researchers, employees are just as likely to speak to a co-worker working on the same floor via email as they would counterparts working in different time zones, says Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. Speaking of the effect email can have on social skills, David Crystal, a professor of linguistics at the University of Wales, says: "simultaneous feedback is a fundamental feature of conversation," and email does not allow for this because of the time lag between recieving and responding to a message. Moreover, an email writer can monopolize (i have experienced this!) the conversation without being interrupted. "The ability to take turns in a conversation," states the Globe, " is an essential social skill."

temple of the dog

you call me a dog, well thats fair enough
cause it aint no use to pretend your wrong
i call you out, you can't hide anymore
you have no disguise i can't see through
you say its bad luck to have fallen for me
what can i do? make it good for you?
you wore me out like an old winter coat
trying to be safe from the cold
but its my time
to throw the next stone
i'll call you beautiful
i'll call it loud
you tell me i'm low cuz i slept on the floor
i didn't watch you with the banshee moaning in the wall
you threw me out cuz i was begging for a bone
i came home with a hand full of coal
but its my time to call your bluff
i'll call you beautiful
i'll call it out
oh leave it alone
you call me a dog, well thats wearing out
it doesn't bother me as long as you know
but bad luck with follow you
if you leave me at least
you could throw me a line
