The core of communication
Technology has changed the way we communicate, making communication quick and easy. With the help of technology, people around the globe can connect at any time, regardless of distance.
One way technology promotes communication is through social media platforms. We can share pictures, videos and messages. We can have face-to-face communication, even if we are unable to meet physically. Instant messaging services allow for a quick exchange of messages.
The goal of communication has always been to connect with others and build relationships based on shared values. Despite the development of technology and the changed ways in which we communicate, the core of communication has remained unchanged — connecting with others.
Basic human connections make communication meaningful. We are social beings which means we need real-time friendships and companionship. We can get that only through being together in the same space and feeling connected with each other in real time.
Technology can help us communicate in new ways, but it will never be a true replacement for getting together such as sitting at the same table and sharing a good meal, a conversation or a good laugh with friends or family.

It is important to say thank you !
“Thank you” is something that has the power to transform our health, happiness, performance, and success. Research tells us that grateful people are happier and more likely to keep good friendships. Being grateful reduces stress, improves our sleep, and energizes us.
It is not only when someone does you a favor that you should express your gratitude. There are many more occasions where you may try saying thank you.
Say thank you when you’re running late
Being late is bad both for you and for others. It’s stressful for the person who is running late and it’s disrespectful to the person who is waiting.
It might seem strange to thank someone for waiting for you, but in some cases, that’s exactly the correct response. Most people rush in the door and say, “Sorry I’m late.”
The problem is that this response still may not make the other person(s) feel better about your being late. Saying “Thank You” instead means you are expressing your gratitude to the other person(s) for caring enough to wait for you.
For example: “You walk in the door 15 minutes late.” instead of saying: “So sorry I’m late. Traffic was awful out there.” Try saying: “Thank you for your patience.”
When we make a mistake, someone else often pays for it. Our response is to apologize for our failure, but a better way is to praise their patience and support. Thank them for what they did for you.
Say thank you when you’re receiving unfair criticism.
Sometimes criticism isn’t helpful at all. It may even be mean. One of the best ways to deal with it is to just say thank you and move on.
For example: “This might be good advice for beginner, but anyone who knows what they are doing will find this useless.”
Instead of saying: Well, clearly, I wrote this for beginners. This might be a surprise, but not everything was written with you in mind.
Try saying: “Thank you for sharing your opinion. I’ll try to improve next time.”
Another example: “Your statement is the worst thing I’ve ever read.”
Instead of saying: “You’re an idiot. Let me tell you why…”
Try saying: “Thank you for the feedback. I still have a lot to learn.”
A simple “thank you” and a show of appreciation can make all the difference. That’s why it’s important not only to practice gratitude yourself but also to help develop a culture of gratitude in your school.Unit 2 [Lesson 1]
