Reconnecting with People FrequentlyIn spite of their efficiency and speed, technological tools may not be the best choice for everycommunication situation. Even in the best circumstances, technology cant match the richexperience of person-to-person contact. Lets say you IM a colleague asking how she didwith her sales presentation to an important client, and her answer comes back simply asFine. What does finemean? Is an order expected soon? Did she lose the sale and doesntwant to talk about it? Was the client rude and she doesnt want to talk about it? If you reconnect with her, perhaps visit her in person, she might provide additional information oryou might be able to offer advice or support during a difficult time.Moreover, most human beings need to connect with other people.You can create amazing documents and presentations without ever leaving your desk or meeting anyone in person. But if you stay hidden behind technology, people wont get to know you nearly as well.Yo u may b e fu n ny, b r ig h t , a n d h e lp fu l, b u t yo ur e ju s t a vo ic e o n t h e p h o n e o r a n a me o n adocument until people can interact with you in person. As technological options increase,people seem to need the human touch even more.
