I am pretty excited about this post. I was thinking the other day about how people communicate. It’s funny because everyone is a little different and has a different level of comfort depending on their age, use of technology and a number of other things. Some people email through social networking sites, post a comment on Facebook, send an email the old fashion way, once in a while a phone call and yes, I get text messages.
The question is what does it look like now and how will it change in the next year?
Here are my average numbers:
- Emails I get through Outlook – 200
- Calls – 30
- Emails I get through a social networking site like Facebook or LinkedIn – 20
- Text messages – 15
- Tweets – 5
That is probably an average day for me. Moving forward I would imagine my emails through Outlook will continue to go down while my emails through social networking sites and texts will go up. I am sure potential research vendors will start marketing campaigns very soon – maybe they already have and I am lucky enough not to get any.
Your turn:
- What is your average daily communication look like?
- How has it changed in the past year?
- How do you think it will change in the next year?
- What is your favorite way to communicate with friends?
I look forward to reading your comments.
