Global Communication Skills

Technology is so advanced, it used to be that a mail man would carry any messages, memos, reminders, love letters. Now we text, tweet,Skype wow! "I do love Skype". Businesses are the ones who benefit the most, now they can hold meetings with people from other countries without any member leaving his or her country. It is truly amazing what we have accomplished and exciting to think what we are yet to accomplish.  We do however need to hang on to our values and principals, ethics are still very important.  We are not in a cave where we can speak loudly and answer the phone without worrying that we are having lunch and invading someone space or meal by being loud and inconsiderate.  Remember, with with great powers comes great responsibilities.  Using our technology requires that we be responsible.  For example; When using the web, we cannot go shopping on company time with the company equipment, we should not use company time to get caught up on our social life. we should not put our selves or our company in danger by being irresponsible with our passwords. And don't forget next time you go to a meeting or a seminar the person talking put a lot of time and effort into the program so be courteous and pay attention don't play with your phone/tablet or try to catch up on your e-mails at this time if it is something urgent excuse yourself and step outside, better yet turn off your gadgets before you enter the room. Remember play responsibly!
