Dear llana Gershon,
After reading your article, I have to agree that with today's mediums
that are being used via email, chat, Facebook, text messaging, it overall helps
make getting the message or the communication in more than one way. Face-to-face
interaction is becoming less and less today in relationships, whether they are
intimate relationships or platonic relationship. I think that as people
come to develop their solution to social quandaries with their friends they are
also creating ethical expectations or whether these technological uses are
right or wrong. Personally I think that even though we have these new
technological advances, we have to remember that there was a day that we did
not have them. I think people take advantage of the fact that they can
hide behind a computer, or a message, and avoid the actual experience of face
to face. Also people have become lazier because sending a text, or an
email is a lot easier to do and deal with most of the time then embracing the situation. 
I
would have to say that I overall I do agree with what your saying because today
we have so many ways to get our message across, and how people understand the
media they use ultimately helps shape the ways they will use it. I too think that today especially people
often take for granted their own assumptions about how a medium shapes the
information that is being transmitted. I
know that in my previous relationship we struggled with communicating because
we were texting all the time, and messages were being mixed up and leaving us
both confused. Which only created more
problems. I think that overtime people
can practice these changes and better understand how to use these medias to appropriate
practices.
