Grant started his TEDTalk by humorously telling about an incident happen to him and his friends in college. They had an encounter with a strange man one night who took out the revolver and pointed at them which eventually changed the way they were communicating to him, this time fearful and anxious. Humans have been given this amazing ability which is the ability to communicate with each other and understand our problems and situations then come up with solutions to them. About 6,500 languages exist today have vastly evolved over the years. Verbal communication is a gift!! Think about it! We are able to communicate our thoughts and ideas with each other each and every day! So what has technology has given us? Emoticons!!! Different smileys to send each other on Whatsapp, Facebook, and other social media platforms to express how we feel about any situation or a person. Over 4,000 years ago Egyptians used to communicate with each other using different symbols. So does that mean we are going back again?
Leaders in the past have addressed their followers by delivering great speeches and nowadays so-called leaders of the word upload one Tweet to express their happiness, sorrow or grief. Dating has been a victim of technology as well - in a good and bad way. You can simply swipe on someone and match! Many relationships suffer due to lack of communication and more of avoidance because everybody is busy swiping their phone! What a terrible thought to have such a relationship where technology is more valued than the person.
Now, whatever happens in our life, wherever it takes us we need to know that Communication Is Key! Literally, we can not Snapchat our ways into our careers, we need to have a DIALOG and actually, for once, COMMUNICATE. A lot of people fail to realize but communication is a skill that should be practiced thoroughly. We can not and must not allow our phones to disconnect from each other because that is one of the biggest failures of human beings. So let us TALK!!!
