Question

Email:

* If I were not using this ICT, how else could I send and receive information.

* What can I do to improve self-awareness and relationship management through ICTs?

* What do I gain in interpersonal communication from ICTs and what do I lose?

Answer 1

1) If I wasn't using email I would prefer to have face to face conversation. But, when choosing an ICT application it would be "Slack". It is a well known conventional tool for meeting my purposes. It is helpful as it lies as a platform for communicating with clients and to conduct group meetings.
2) I can improve self-awareness and relationship management through ICT by building long term relationships with others and also by considering ICT as a strong platform for communication which helps in building self-awareness. Relationships are just looked at by a transactional viewpoint. But by the effective use of ICT, it could be used to build trust and robust relationships.
3) Through interpersonal communication from ICTs, I gained more trust from the other end. Our messages are more open while using the means of ICTs which build a robust trust factor from the other end. Also breaking the barriers of space and time is a mentionable gain.
We may tend to lose privacy in interpersonal communication if the other end misuses it and also may lead to weakening in social ties.
